Alright -- finally, during a purchasing binge in turn 3, I got some Quest
offers.  Besides the fact that they are pretty measly for cash, I've got
a few questions to fire out there...

1) I left the City to do a little exploration of the surrounding
countryside.  Do I have to go BACK to the City to issue the 'Y xxxx'
order, or is that just an artefact where you retroactively accept the
quest because you couldn't do it the moment it was offered ('cause this
is a PBM game and not a computer game)???

2) If the request is to pick up things and return them, how do you
complete the quest?  Do you 'hand' them the items, or return to the city
and issue the second 'Y xxxx' order, or what?  Basically, once you've
accepted and completed a quest, how do you get the reward?  This is kind
of important, since I don't want to sell back 4 packets of powders at a
(probable) loss and then be told I didn't finish the Quest. :)

3) Finally, regarding spell experimentation.  Does a failure when
experimenting with combination 'XYZ' indicate that 'XYZ' is not a spell
*at* *all*???  I'm wondering, because an experiment with a single powder
failed, and I'm wondering if I should start combining it with other
powders to find out more, or if I should redo the initial test.  My mage
has an okay skill (39) and had another test succeed in the same turn.
Ideas?  {No, I'm still not looking for the complete spell list. :) }

All the previous responses via e-mail were appreciated, though it seems
less redundant to post here so everyone can benefit.
