Missing inventory selection by symbol

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Starting with several different object types in inventory, press D
2. Press '!' (or any other object symbol) to select an object type

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Pressing '!' should select all potions but does not.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.3.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.3

Please provide any additional information below.
In the Linux/UNIX version of NetHack you can select inventory using the
symbol keys.  For example, pressing ! (exclamation point) will select (or
deselect) all potions.  This is very handy later in the game when sorting
through large piles of gear in bags, chests and main inventory, as they
often don't line up the same.  During the initial object type selection,
potions might show as choice 'e' in a bag and choice 'f' in the chest, but
they are always '!'.  When looking at all inventory, pressing ! is much
easier than pressing letters or mouse-click selecting a large number of
items individually.

It's in the tty version? Didn't even know so thanks for pointing it out :)

This feature is in the tty version too.  I think it's arguably more useful in 
the tty
version since a potion really is a '!' on the screen when you aren't using a 
fancy
font or tile set.
