OPTIONS	FILE
       The  file ~/.larnopts may be used to set	a few options for Larn.	 A se-
       quence of words terminated by whitespace	is used	to specify options.

       Word		       Meaning
       bold-objects	       Select bold display of objects.
       inverse-objects	       Select inverse video display of objects.
       no-introduction	       Do not display intro message.
       enable-checkpointing    Turn on periodic	checkpointing.
       no-beep		       Disable beeping of the terminal.
       male		       Choose your sex to be a man.
       female		       Choose your sex to be a woman.
       name: "name"	       Choose your playing name.
       monster:	"name"	       Choose a	name for a monster.
       savefile: "file"	       Define what the savegame	filename will be.

       Your name and monster names must	be enclosed in double quotation	 marks
       and may be up to	34 characters long.  Longer names are truncated.  Any-
       thing  enclosed	in quotation marks is considered one word, and must be
       separated from other words by whitespace.

SPECIAL	NOTES
       When dropping gold, if you type '*' as your amount, all your gold  gets
       dropped.	  In  general,	typing in '*' means all	of what	you are	inter-
       ested in.  This is true when visiting the bank, or when contributing at
       altars.

       You can get out of the store, trading post, school, or home by  hitting
       <esc>.

       When casting a spell, if	you need a list	of spells you can cast,	type D
       as  the	first letter of	your spell.  The available list	of spells will
       be shown, after which you may enter the spell code.  This only works on
       the 1st letter of the spell you are casting.

FILES
       /var/games/larn/lscore12.0  Score file.
       /var/games/larn/llog12.0	   Log file.
       ~/.larnopts		   Options file.
