- To give a count to a command, type the number in digits, then the command.
- A count of 0 defaults to a count of 99. Counts only work with some
- commands, and will be terminated by the same things that end a rest or a
- run. In particular, typing any character during the execution of a counted
- command will terminate the command. Counted searches or tunnels will terminate
- on success, or if you are attacked.
-
- Control-R will redraw the screen whenever it is input, not only at command
- level. A count with control-P will specify the number of previous messages.
- Control commands may be entered with a single key stroke, or with two key
- strokes by typing ^ and then a letter.
-
- Type ESCAPE to abort the look command at any point.
-
- Some commands will prompt for a spell, or an inventory item. Selection is
- by an alphabetic character - entering a capital causes a desription to be
- printed, and the selection may be aborted.
-
- Using repeat counts with the tunnel left command does not work well, because
- tunnel left is the backspace character, and will delete the number you have
- just typed in. To avoid this, you can either enter ^H as two characters
- (^ and then H), or you can type ' ' (i.e. the space character) after the
- number at which point you will get a command prompt and backspace will
- work correctly.
