Executing NetHack on your machine
Your personal config file will be created from a template file the
first time you fire up NetHack. If you want to edit it you can use
the following filename to do so:
%USERPROFILE%\nethack\.nethackrc
If you want to see where NetHack expects to find the other files it
utilizes, you can issue the following command:
nethack --showpaths
Play NetHack.
