Ah -- a Cave[wo]man...! :-) The "?" command is useful. BTW, one of the nice things about NetHack is the ability to specify preferences (in the file ~/.nethackrc, as I recall -- I don't have it installed here at work). Among those is which gender you prefer to be addressed as, whether you prefer your pet to be a cat or a dog, and a myriad (well, nearly) of other things.
