Slow monster & large screen (re: nsc.124)

	Haste monster sticks are bad, bad, bad.
	Slow monster, however, is great! One neat thing to do is to hit the
	monster, step back, hit him, step back, etc. You can beat any monster
	this way if you have a decent weapon.  Haste self works in the same way.
	Beware that the monster gets the first hit after you use the slow
	monster stick.

	Every time I play rogue, I execute the following litle csh routine
	(in addition to setting ROGUEOPTS, of course).

	setenv TERMCAP "query3:li#18:co#64:tc=${term}:"
	set term = "query3"

	You may have to modify this to your system. I haven't had
	any food problems since I started doing this. Also searching
	now is VERY easy. Long scroll names will mess up your display
	and ^L doesn't help. Long inventories will not fit on the
	screen, but the w (wield) command will let you see the end of
	the display.
