A count of 0 defaults to a count of 99. Counts only work with some commands, and will be terminated by the same things that end a rest or a run. In particular, typing any character during the execution of a counted command will terminate the command. To count a movement command, hit space after the number, and you will be prompted for the command, which may be a digit. Counted searches or tunnels will terminate on success, or if you are attacked. A count with control-P will specify the number of previous messages. Control-R will redraw the screen whenever it is input, not only at command level. Control commands may be entered with a single key stroke, or with two key strokes by typing ^ and then a letter. Type ESCAPE to abort the look command at any point. Some commands will prompt for a spell, or an inventory item. Selection is by an alphabetic character - entering a capital causes a desription to be printed, and the selection may be aborted.
