[net.games.rogue] Beginner puzzled

fdf (04/11/83)

Pardon me for disturbing what seems to be a newsgroup full
of experienced rogue players, but I have a few simple
questions that I would appreciate getting some answers for.

1) Is there a help manual for rogue better than the one page
"explanation" in my UNIX 5.0 book?

2) How are arrows (or other projectiles) shot? Are they thrown?
Does one need to be wielding a bow to throw them accurately?

3) Does running (or moving) into a monster imply that the monster
is being hit with the weapon in hand, or is there some way to
swing the weapon, a la ADVENTURE's 'hit him with the mace'?

Thanks for any replies, and they may be mailed to me as they
are probably not of general interest to this group.
