+1.  Introduction
+
+     You  have  just finished your years as a student at the
+local fighter's guild.  After much practice  and  sweat  you
+have finally completed your training and are ready to embark
+upon a perilous adventure.  As a test of  your  skills,  the
+local  guildmasters have sent you into the Dungeons of Doom.
+Your task is to return with  the  Amulet  of  Yendor.   Your
+reward  for  the completion of this task will be a full mem-
+bership in the local guild. In addition, you are allowed  to
+keep all the loot you bring back from the dungeons.
+
+     In  preparation  for  your  journey,  you  are given an
+enchanted sword, taken from a dragon's hoard in the far  off
+Dark  Mountains.   You  are  also outfitted with elf-crafted
+armor and given enough food to reach the dungeons.  You  say
+goodbye  to family and friends for what may be the last time
+and head up the road.
+
+     You set out on your way to the dungeons and after  sev-
+eral  days  of  uneventful travel, you see the ancient ruins
+that mark the entrance to the Dungeons of Doom.  It is  late
+at  night  so  you  make  camp at the entrance and spend the
+night sleeping under the open skies.   In  the  morning  you
+gather  your  sword,  put  on your armor, eat what is almost
+your last food and enter the dungeons.
+
+2.  What is going on here?
+
+     You have just begun a game of rogue.  Your goal  is  to
+grab as much treasure as you can, find the Amulet of Yendor,
+and get out of the Dungeons of Doom alive.  On the screen, a
+map  of  where  you  have been and what you have seen on the
+current dungeon level is kept.  As you explore more  of  the
+level, it appears on the screen in front of you.
+
+     Rogue  differs from most computer fantasy games in that
+it  is  screen  oriented.   Commands  are  all  one  or  two
+keystrokes  and  the  results of your commands are displayed
+graphically on the screen rather  than  being  explained  in
+-----------
+As opposed to pseudo English sentences.
