Hi. I have MacNetHack, and have a problem.
Sometimes there are messages written in the dust on the floor. I can't read them. A friend says, "Why don't you just step on them?" This is what happens.
"There is a message written in the dust on the floor."
So, naturally, I hit :
"You see a message written in the dust on the floor."
How do you read messages on the floor?
Thanks,
----Sascha

Hmmmmm. Unless MacNetHack is a TOTALLY different game than the NetHack we mere mortals play, that sounds like a bug. PC NetHack (and for that matter PC Hack) always displayed the message automatically, whether you read it or not. But in case you can't get your hands on an Unbugged version of McNethack, scribblings on the floor (unless they're written by you) usually read something like: "ad ae ? ar um" -- Jeff Boeing (which is not my real name) | ...!uunet!stb.uucp!tracer ------------------------------------------|---------------------------- "All right, you weak bosons!
