 yes - disarming will disarm everything in the 9x9 space area.  Documentation is
incorrect.

      For brace, when that is toggled on, is it possible to attack another

 Looking at brace, the following effects seems to happen:

 ac is 2 points worse, and you get no dex bonus
 +4 attack bonus to hit.
 experience is reduced by 80% (you get 1/5 you normally would).  I think there
may be an interesting bug in this, in that if you are being drained, only 1/5
the amount that would normally be drained will be subtracted - the code does not
appear to check to see if the exp is being added or removed.
 you won't switch spaces with friendly objects.
 you will still attack friendly creatures even if you are in peaceful mode.
 You will not roll boulders.

 At least that is all the code that I see that uses the braced attribute.

 Can you clarify that?  Does that mean you don't have CVS access, or does it
have some other meaning?

 Probably drop a message to the list about the commands you have questions
about, and someone will answer them at some point.
