The original was mouseless.  < and > was used to rotate the inventory.
There was no button to rotate the items on the ground, so you had to
pick up the orc chops etc. if a switch was obscured.

I think the best way to fix John's problem is to reduce the number of
items generated when monsters die.  But that is a lot of work since it
ideally involves changing maps as well as treasurelists.  :-)
