  It's just the way the treasure lists are set up - those are basic class 
skills, and are in the skill treasurelists, not the racial treasurelists.  That 
of course could be change.

  It should work - I just tried it now, and got some exp.  Most likely, this was 
caused by a bug that caused the skill not to get properly linked in, which I 
just committed a fix for.

  Most likely, correct.  As mentioned before, it is entirely possible to have 
exp in skills you can't use.

  One change with the new skill code is that anything that gives exp records 
which skill the exp goes to.  There used to be problems in the past, especially 
in party play, where players could funnel exp to most any skill they wanted 
(player A kilsl something with fireball, player b funnels it into praying).

  That should be next to impossible in the new code.  But it does mean that if 
the orc pets kills something with missile weapons, you get the exp in missile 
weapons.
