- During a recent game, my character Sermil 'became a new man'. When asked for
- a new name, I didn't have any wonderful ideas, so I typed 'Sermil-ish', and
- then later saved. Now, how do I get back into the game?
- "nethack -u Sermil-ish" says "unknown role I" and gives the start-up screen.
- Ditto on setting name in $NETHACKOPTIONS, or even $USER. This is a
- multi-user system, so I can't rename the data file, either.
- I didn't see this in the FAQ. Any hints?
