[net.games.rogue] help with rogue

HELP!!
I am having a terrible time with rogue.  We have no type of documentation
on rogue at all.  The 'help' screen does shen a bit of light, but I am
mostly in the dark ( and we're talkin' DARK ).

What do the notations mean at screen's bottom ??

	1)	Hp: n(n)
	2)	Str: n(n)
	3)	Arm: n(n)
	4)	Exp: n/n

Any type of help/info concerning rogue will be deeply appreciated
as well as used in fierce battle with whatever

thanks

Hp = Health Points (aka Hit Points), you die when they go to zero.
Str = Strength
Arm = Armor Class (Whether smaller is better or not depends on version of
	Rogue; try taking off & wearing armor to see the effect)
Exp = Experience points (gained mostly by killing monsters)

These attributes are common to most Dungeons & Dragons inspired games
(on the Apple II, Wizardry and Ultima series are the best examples).
