This could be a pref file issue. You might want to (a) make sure you have the 3.0.9 pref files in your lib/pref directory and if that doesn't help (b) check if you have the arrow keys redefined in any lib/user pref file you may be using.

Shift-direction running seems to be working fine for me. Did you check your Number Lock?

..also perhaps check the disturb options? I was wondering the same thing at first, and if I remember correctly it was actually an issue with the disturb.

[Although, honestly, I do still like the Nethack way of doing inventory better, where there's no need for inscriptions or macros.]

There ist a very short synopsis:
