Thank-you, Lockmar, for your courteous replies.
I appreciate your advice to take my time to fully explore the world.
However, I find that moving piles is especially tedious because:
1) There are so many of them.
2) Moving piles is clumsy: Your character has to move close to them to begin, and then it is difficult to move the pile, instead of making your character run around. It appears that just clicking on the pile with its name highlighted is not enough. There 'may' be a sweet spot close to the bottom, but getting it all the time is difficult (same problem with picking up items)
I doubt I will continue to move all the piles, and just hope nothing really important is hidden within one of them.
If, perhaps, some kind soul would reveal the location of piles with important hidden items... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />
