Getting started
To start with, you can just say angband -uTest, and that creates a save file with the file name ~/.angband/Angband/save/<UID>.Test. The best place to get help is the program itself; help is reached by the command ? and presents a menu of choices.Program options can be set using the = command. To see what the various options mean, access the List of Options help menu with the ? command.
