LESSON 1: SCORE and DISPLAY Commands.
You could type SCORE to see your current statistics. At higher levels, SCORE
will give you more information.
The [H M V ] ex[ ] that always appears when you hit RETURN is called a
"prompt" and
H means Hitpoints
M means Mana points for casting spells
V means Vitality points or movement points
ex[ ] tells you the OBVIOUS exits in the room you are in. Some exits are
hidden and thus not shown in ex[ ], like closed or locked doors.

You can configure your own prompt with the DISPLAY command.
Since you now know more about your own self, please head north to learn some
