Thank you, one & all. After taking a brief break for the flu (too many floogles) I got back & with your advice, got straightened out. Even had an old save game that allowed me to find out the armor I wanted wasn't in the chest I hadn't opened but on the floor on the next level!! Oh well, live & dash about. Think I should pay may last visit to the battlefields before going much further too. Bashing on........
