And? Come on, this is *nethack*. It's the hardest game I know of, bar none. You have to learn a pile of keystroke commands when you first start up nethack anyway.

How long is a first-time user going to survive without reading the keystroke help files anyway? Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
