When playing on a slow terminal it is a boon to run "terse" and 
have single line inventories.  Two features I would like to 
propose are:

   1) when spacing through a long inventory <ESC> would mean
      "I'm done looking at the inventory, get me back where I
       was".

   2) when in "terse" mode (or maybe anytime) concatenate and
      display simultaneously the results of the player hit and
      the monster responce.  (Multiple responces would need
      some thought.)
