Ingo Paschke 1cfff0f002 Amiga: correct command-line flag doc in amii.hlp
Wizard mode is gated on player name == WIZARD_NAME, not on -D or
-debug.  Document -uwizard as the working entry point.

Amiga-specific help for NetHack 5.0
Special key combinations
------------------------
ALT-HELP Edit the screen colour palette.
CTL-HELP Set tile scaling and clipping (amiv only).
SHIFT-HELP Toggle the dungeon overview window (amiv only).
Command-line flags
------------------
-L Force interlaced (tall) screen.
-l Force non-interlaced screen.
-uNAME Play as NAME (e.g. -uwizard for wizard mode).
-pCLASS Pick a profession (e.g. -pvalkyrie).
-rRACE Pick a race.
Wizard/debug mode is gated on the player name matching WIZARD_NAME
("wizard" by default), so the simplest way in is -uwizard.
Configuration (nethack.cnf in the NetHack: drawer)
--------------------------------------------------
Window backend selection:
OPTIONS=windowtype:amiv tile graphics (default)
OPTIONS=windowtype:amii text/character mode
Amiga-specific runtime options:
OPTIONS=altmeta ALT+letter sends META+letter (default on).
Disable with !altmeta if your keymap needs
ALT for typing accented characters.
OPTIONS=flush drop any keys queued during long operations
OPTIONS=asksavedisk prompt for a save-disk before saving
(MFLOPPY only)
File-location overrides
-----------------------
NetHack: is automatically assigned to the directory the executable was
launched from. All game files default to that volume. Override any of
these in nethack.cnf to relocate parts of the game state:
HACKDIR=NetHack: program / shared data
LEVELDIR=NetHack: per-level files during play
SAVEDIR=NetHack:save/ save files
BONESDIR=NetHack:bones/ bones files (shared between games)
DATADIR=NetHack: nhdat and other data files
SCOREDIR=NetHack: record / logfile
LOCKDIR=NetHack: lock files
CONFIGDIR=NetHack: per-user config
You can also override the install path entirely without editing the cnf
by setting the NETHACKDIR or HACKDIR shell environment variable before
launching:
setenv NETHACKDIR Work:games/nethack-dev/
Work:games/nethack-dev/nethack
Display fallback
----------------
Tile mode (amiv) requires at least 16 colours and ~384 KB free chip
RAM. If neither is available the game falls back to text mode (amii)
at startup with a one-line note.
