Hi ron. I did find Nethack just about playable with Hal, but it was difficult sinse I had to spend ages reading the screen and the command list, and was taking me so long to do anything that I ended up giving up, ---- appologies for my lack of patience here.
One thing I did have to do was get the nhaccess file from a previous version (I think the nethack for doss), and load it into the version I was using, that fixed all the aski command issues. Hth. Perhaps I ought to grit my teeth and try again (assuming the self-voicing game isn't finished first. Beware the Grue!
