	I have noticed that  you enjoy changing your  name when playing  Rogue.
This is fine, and I don't care what you change it to.  However, you should know
that there is a way to get Rogue to give you the same name and option  settings
each game, without you having  to set them yourself.  What  you do is create  a
file in your directory called  ROGUE.INIT.  In this you  can put what you  want
your defaults to be.  Rogue always  looks in your CONNECTED directory for  this
file. To set your name, put a line in the file like:

	name The Rogue King

To set the fruit name, do this:

	fruit Watermelon

To set the save file, do this:

	save PS:<directory-name>rogue.save

To set a option  (make it true) put  its name in the  file, each on a  separate
line: The seven  options are  named 'terse', 'flush',  'slow', 'turn',  'jump',
'ask', and 'tomb'.  To make a option false, either omit its name or precede  it
with 'no'.   Note that  since Rogue  uses COMND  to parse  the lines,  you  can
abbreviate the keywords ('name', 'ask', etc.)  as short as you want as long  as
they remain unique.  Also,  this requires that  you be sure  to put a  carriage
return at the end of each line,  ESPECIALLY the last (many people often  forget
this).

	Happy adventuring!
