I have updated the man page for the game WANDERER 2.2.
It is in a shar file is attached to this posting.
When using the # to toggle to the full screen display, if help is
desired, the help menu doesn't clear away the entire debug window.
I have made an addition to help.c that clears the screen in debug_mode
that I thought you might want.
+extern int debug_disp;
void
helpme() /* routine to show help menu. */
{
int i = 0, i1 = 0, i2 = 0; /* loop counters */
char *ptr; /* pointer in array.. */
char ch;
+ if (debug_disp) {
+
+ /* clear full screen display. */
+
+ for(i = 0; i < 18; i++)
+ {
+ move(i,0); /* move to start of line. */
+ addstr(" ");
+ }
+ refresh(); /* show on screen. */
+ }
for(i1=0; i1<5; i1++) /* times to show loop. */

wanderer - collect treasure by wandering around
.SH SYNOPSIS
wanderer [ -e [file] | -m | -c | -s | -f ]

The object of the game is to move around, collecting treasure, and escape
through the exit.
The idea for the game came from the games 'Repton', 'Boulderdash'
and 'XOR', and was then developed further.

.TP 12

.TP 12
.B -e [file]
If file is given,
it will take this as the file to be edited. eg, 'wanderer -e screen.1'
