As far as I know, just do the 'i #' order again. The lockpicks just seem to
increase your chances of opening the lock. I'm not sure, but maybe you need to
do a 'U Char lockpick# 0' to equip it first? Maybe the others can confirm this.

I don't think we have spears in Peter Reads Dynamic Games version of Quest.

I've got a mapping program, but I don't think it has a cut and paste option.
I use Deluxe Paint 2E to do my maps on. I have all the terrain icons saved as
paintbrushes, and I just point and click to add to the map.

I sort of maintain a small mailing list thingy. I have collected a list of
people I know that play Quest (from all companies) and have e-mail access.
