An explanation of some of the properties you can adjust to
make the game more enjoyable for you. Also read the specific
help for each of the command mentioned here, eg 'help term'
etc.

'term' - This sets what terminal emulation and screen size you
use. If your terminal supports colour, 'term ansi' is
recommended. Size of your screen is set with
'term <columns>x<rows>', eg 'term 80x20'.
Icesus tries to automatically detect your terminal
and screen size each time you log on. You can toggle
this feature on and off with 'term autodetect'.
If something messes up your screen, try typing
'reset'.

'colour' - Use 'colour on' to quickly enable colours for you.

'lite' - With this very useful command you can bring colour
into your world! Use it to lite channels, say messages,
monsters and so on.
Ex. 'lite channel ice cyan'
'lite monster yellow'
'lite woundedmonster red'

'alias' - With aliases you can make shortcuts for often used commands.
Ex: 'alias foo say Hello everyone!'. After this, typing
'foo' does the same as typing 'say Hello everyone!'.
The aliases which everyone needs most have been pre-defined
as global aliases. Type 'alias -global' to see these.

'nickname' - Nicknames substitute one text for another. They cannot
function as commands, however; use 'alias' for that.
People usually use nicknames for their friends' names
etc, so they don't have to type long and complicated
names all the time.
Ex 'nickname neu neurotico' would then allow you to do
ex 'tell neu Your help-documents rock!'

prompt - Actually set with the 'set'-command (see below), but very
often asked about. To change your prompt, ie the text
shown at the beginning of each line signifying the mud
is ready to accept input, type 'set prompt <new_prompt>'.
The arguments accepted in the prompt can be seen with
'help prompt'. Example:
'set prompt Hp:[hp]/[maxhp] Sp:[sp]/[maxsp] Exp:[exp] >'

'battle' - A very important command with which you can set many
combat settings, most importantly your combat point
assignments. Read the help about the command and the
further helps mentioned there. And remember to check and
set your combat point assignments.

'mon' - This is a monitor which informs you every time your
hp, sp or ep changes by 15 points or more. You can toggle
monitoring on and off just by typing 'mon'. If you are in
a party, you can use 'mon party' to toggle on and off
party reporting. When on, changes in your hp/sp/ep will
be reported over the party channel to the whole party.

'wimpy' - Very important, especially for beginning adventurers.
Used as 'wimpy <wimpylevel>', see 'help wimpy' for the
accepted arguments for wimpylevels. When wimpy is set,
you will automatically try to flee from a battle when
your hit points drop too low.

'brief' - Toggles your verbosity setting. In brieff mode, you will
only see the short, one-line description of a room
you enter. In verbose mode you will see the long
description.

'battle -v' - Changes your battle verbosity level, ie how much
information you will see about an ongoing battle
you are taking part in.

'keep' - The 'keep'-command allows you to ensure you do not
accidentally sell, drop or give away some object(s) you
are carrying.

'snoopable' - This is by default off. If you set it on, any wizard in
the game will be allowed to snoop you, ie monitor you
so that they see exactly the same as your character does
and what you type. Allowing wizards to snoop you can be
helpful in demonstrating how some bug works, for example.
You are not required to set yourself as snoopable at
any time if you do not want to, even if a wizard would
insist so.
Archwizards and higher can snoop you regardless of your
snoopable-setting.

'ignore' - The 'ignore'-command allows you to ignore all channelmessages
and tells from a player, or from players below a certain
level. It makes a list of all players you have decided to
ignore. If you are being spammed or harassed by some player,
report this to the wizards.

'friends' - With this you can add players to your friends-list.
Typing 'friends' shows who of your friends are on.
You can also use "friends" as a target for tells, thus
sending a message to all your friends at once. It is also
used in 'set inform', see below.

'passwd' - This allows you to change your password.

'chfn' - With this command you can update the information shown
to admins only when they finger you, ie name, e-mail
address and phonenumber. NOTE: you can also set a
www-homepage address with this; this information will
be shown to all players.

'set' - The 'set'-command is used to set several different
properties. Read 'help set' for a list. The most
used are:
- 'set prompt <prompt>'. This was explained above.
- 'set delim <character>'. This sets the character
you can use to input multiple commands at once.
Ex if you do 'set delim ;' you can the type
'north;smile;south' to go north, smile, and go
back south.
- 'set inform <all|friends>'. If you have this set
to "all", you will be informed whenever a player
enters or leaves the game. Setting it to "friends"
will show this only if the player is on your
friends-list (see 'friends' above and 'help friends').
- 'set typomessages'. Toggles between random and
the default 'What?' typomessage.
- 'set keepalive'. This enables 'KEEP-ALIVE' messages
to be sent to you periodically to keep your connection
up if it is prone to disconnect on idle.
