*sifts through the nonsense* Well, your weapon skills + spells arent going up because your fighting too weak monsters. Go find some stronger monsters and try fighting them for a while. It's to stop you from simply running around outside town and becoming all powerful. Mindu has all them spells because he's a white mage dumb dumb, be thankful you have him in your party for the short time and make full use of his spell book. And no the ok + cancel "trick" isnt availble in DoS, though I wouldn't recommend you use it on any other version regardless, as it's cheap and cheating and crows will peck out your eyes for doing such things.
