There are further Boolean options that exist in some versions of NetHack 3.0.
(You can tell which options exist in your version by checking the short
option help, which is reached by 'O?'.)
Boolean option if NEWS was set at compile time:
news print any news from game administrator on startup [TRUE]
Boolean options if you are using MS-DOS and DGK was set at compile time:
IBM_BIOS allow the use of IBM ROM BIOS calls [FALSE]
rawio allow the use of raw I/O (may only be set on startup) [FALSE]
DEC_Rainbow you are on a DEC Rainbow and want to use its graphics [FALSE]
(if DECRAINBOW was also set at compile time)
Boolean options if DGK was not set at compile time:
null allow nulls to be sent to your terminal [TRUE]
standout use standout mode for --More-- on messages [FALSE]
Boolean option if TEXTCOLOR was set at compile time:
color use different colors for objects on screen [TRUE]
Any Boolean option can be negated by prefixing it with a '!' or 'no'.
Compound options are written as option_name:option_value.
Compound options which can be set during the game are:
packorder a list of default symbols for kinds of objects that gives the
order in which your pack will be displayed
If you specify only some kinds of items, the others from the
default order will be appended to the end. [")[%?+!=/(*`0_]
endgame the parts of the score list you wish to see when the game ends
You choose a combination of top scores, scores around that of
the ending game, and all of your own scores.
[!own/5 top/4 around]
fruit the name of a fruit you enjoy eating
(basically a whimsy which NetHack uses from time to time)
[slime mold]
Compound options which may be set only on startup are:
name the name of your character
[obtained by asking the system or the player]
dogname the name of your first dog [NONE]
catname the name of your first cat [NONE]
graphics a list of symbols to be used in place of the default ones for
drawing the dungeon
The symbols are subjected to a fair amount of processing, so
that you can use C-style escapes such as \n or \081 as well as
indicate control characters by ^x or meta characters by \Mx.
As usual, \ can force the next character to be taken literally.
Since many of the default symbols are overloaded, they are
given here by name instead of symbol, with some added notes.

crwall tuwall tdwall tlwall trwall (wallified maze characters)
