      This seemed quite obvious. But if didn't guessed it, it must certainly go

     There is no real FAQ yet, but I'll start one after this reply because I also 
have some IRC logs with more questions.

      To put arrows not in the quiver into it, open the quiver (just like a sack)

     I think if you mark the arrows they get fired when you use the bow.
To mark something: 
hold <shift> and press the middle mouse button on the object

      Simply put keys in your inventory, not in your sack (close the sack before

     Better solution: type "usekeys containers"

      Pause is quite impossible (remember that the game uses client-server and

     It is possible to save and then to close the client. But it's better to use 
the spell "word of recall" (either learn it or read the scroll) and then to 
teleport back to your last savebed.
