--showpaths
early option to show where NetHack is expecting to find certain files
without starting up a game. It exits afterwards.
Windows sample (for illustration only, locations may differ for you):
Variable playground locations:

Your system configuration file (in sysconfdir):

Slippery fingers would transfer from bare hands to gloved hands if
you put gloves on. The reverse, transfering from gloves to bare
hands when taking gloves off, was already being prevented for
directly taking them off, but still allowed the slipperiness to
transfer when gloves were lost. This prevents putting on gloves
when fingers are slippery and attempts to handle cases where gloves
get unworn by ways other than 'T' (or 'R') or 'A'.
There's no slippery attribute for objects (way too much work for too
little value); slippery gloves is just the combination of wearing
gloves and having slippery fingers (which now has to have happened
while already wearing those gloves). This changes inventory to use
"(being worn; slippery)" when applicable and much of the patch deals
with funnelling Glib changes through new make_glib() to try to make
sure that persistent inventory adds or removes "; slippery" right
away when changes happen.
If gloves are taken off involuntarily (shapechange to a form that
can't wear them, destruction via scroll of destroy armor or monster
spell of same or via overenchantment, theft), slippery fingers ends
right away instead of the usual few turns later.
When I expanded the Guidebook's sample configuration file I added
several status_hilite options. I decided that I'd better test what
was written and discovered that if Xp had an up or changed rule as
well as one or more percentage rules, it was showing bogus changes
whenever the integer value of the percentage changed. The fix
turned out to be simple but it took a while to figure out.
I ultimately left the status_hilite settings out of the sample
options, because they tended to be too wide for Guidebook.txt's
formatting rather than because they weren't working as expected.
Expand the sample configuration file a little and prevent it from
going past the right margin in Guidebook.txt.
Replace all instances of "config file" with "configuration file".
Reformat the "notes" at the end of the table of map symbols.
Unfortunately Guidebook.pdf from Guidebook.ps from Guidebook.mn
puts a page break between the header line "notes" and the two
actual notes.
Value 1 for 'mouse_support' was not just exceeding the margin of
Guidebook.txt but wrapping to the next line. Shorten it.
Guidebook.tex had a typo "in the foler" (where 'folder' was meant)
and Guidebook.mn didn't have that phrase at all.
Remove a few trailing spaces.
Noticed that "multiple" was misspelled for entry about menu action
':' misbehaving under curses, but the phrasing for whole entry was
difficult to comprehend so try to word it better.
[This one is in the highlights list with the old wording.]
