While it is not difficult for experienced users to edit the \fBdefaults.nh\fP
file to accomplish this, novices may find this task somewhat daunting.
Included within the \(lqsymbols\(rq file of all official distributions
of NetHack is a symset called \fBNHAccess\fP.
Selecting that symset in your
configuration file will cause the game to run in a manner accessible
to the blind.
After you have gained some experience with the game
and with editing files, you may want to alter settings via \fBSYMBOLS=\fP
and \fBROGUESYMBOLS=\fP
in your configuration file to better suit your preferences.
See the previous section for the special symbols S_pet_override
to force a consistent symbol for all pets and
S_hero_override to force a unique symbol for the player character
if \fBaccessibility\fP is enabled in the sysconf file.
