DESCRIPTION
The 'options' command will allow you to view and configure the options
which control your interface and affect your environment.

By typing 'options' with no arguments, you will see the options you
currently have set.

By typing 'options' followed by one of the available keywords, you
will toggle the stated option.

Example:
opt no_summon will toggle no_summon on or off.
You will see a message stating : "No_summon set to TRUE" (or FALSE, as
the case may be). If the message were, "No_summon set to TRUE," then you
cannot be summoned.

Note that the '*' after the flag indicates that the option is 'on'; eg,
no_summon (*) indicates that you cannot be summoned.

Options under 'Option Levels' can be set from 0 to 3 by typing option
