When you are in a shop, you are given a list of the shopkeeper's stock from 
which to choose, and a list of instructions. Unfortunately the shopkeepers all
have an enterprise bargaining agreement with the dungeon teamsters union which
prevents them using non-union labour to obtain stock, so you can't sell
anything in a shop (but what shopkeeper would buy goods from a disreputable
adventurer like you, anyway?).

the search are (or have been) located; you can then travel there.

Examining surroundings ('x')
----------------------------
When roaming the dungeon, the surroundings mode is activated by 'x'. It lets you
have a look at items or monsters in line of sight. You may also examine stashed 
items outside current view using the option target_oos=true (if using this, 
check target_los_first).

Targeting
---------
Targeting mode is, as the name says, used to select a target. It is activated
whenever you fire projectiles, zap a wand or cast spells which uses targets.
You can also trigger targeting mode manually using 'x' if you want to look
around you.
