(2.3) Client options                                                            
--------------------
By pressing the '=' key, you can access the options menu where you can tweak
your client in some ways. Some of these options that aren't self-explaining
or that are especially important are listed in detail here:

(1 & 2) User Interface Options
    Rogue-like commands (rogue_like_commands)
        Toggles between normal key set and traditional rogue-like key set.
    Suppress server messages as far as possible (taciturn_messages)
        Will prevent some of the not-so-important server messages to be
        shown, for example 'You have <item>' when picking up an item.
    Don't display 'flavours' in item names (short_item_names)
        A 'Black Potion of Speed' will just be shown as a 'Potion of Speed'.

    Use additional predefined auto-inscriptions (auto_inscribe)
        Will provide a predefined (on server-side) set of item-inscriptions
        that will be applied automatically to some selected items, which are
        word-of-Recall items, various scrolls and a few potions.
    Hide unusable skills (hide_unusable_skills)
        Skills that your character cannot use will not be displayed in the
        skill menu invoked by 'G' key.

    Also, (2) has all of the audio options. (See (2.1a) for more information.)

(3 & 4) Game-Play Options
    Set 'AFK mode' automatically (auto_afk)
        Rogues might want to turn this off in order to sit out their blacklist
        timer in town.

    Automatically open doors (easy_open)
        Your character attempts to open a door just by you moving into it.
!!! Scroll the screen more frequently (wide_scroll_margin)
!!!     Should always be enabled! Will reduce probability for off-screen kills,
!!!     since the screen scrolls much earlier when you come close to a border!

(8) Check Server Options
    Displays a list of the server rules and configuration.

(A) Account options
    Here you can see if your account is valid. Invalid accounts are also
    indicated by a yellow 'I' in the players list you get with '@' key.
    Also, you can change your password here!

(W) Window flags
    Here you can configure each of the program windows in detail.
    It is recommended that you have one dedicated window for 'Display chat',
    so you don't miss important messages during combat.
