How am I supposed to enter wizard mode and create dump files?

You dont need to enter wizard mode to create dump files.
Use de 'C'haracter screen, i think it´s 'f" to save to file the character
dump, in this screen.

I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired.
I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind.
I won't change direction and I won't change my mind...
How much difference does it make?

He probably wants to make spoiler dump files, not character dump files
(or screen dump files).

Remember to use a sacrificial savefile since it will get marked a "cheater".

Incidentally, how does one get screen dumps when the game isn't idling?
(i.e. a prompt is displayed; a YAFM is displayed; you've scrolled the
map using 'L'; etc.)

Hi Mikka,

What variant are you talking about? I presume Vanilla - and I think most
variants use the same keystrokes for this!

To make a dump file: hit capital C to get the character info scree, then
lowercase f, then supply a filename. The dump will be made in the
\lib\user directory.

To enter "WIZARD" mode, hit Ctrl-W, then confirm that you really want to
do this. This will mark your save file as wizard - and this mark will
carry on to all future games started from the same savefile.

If you want to generate spoiler files, don't use Wizard mode, use the
debug commands instead. This will mark your savefile as well, so do make
sure to use a temporary savefile that you can throw away later (or keep
it, but with a name that helps you remember that this is your debug /
wizard savefile).
For spoiler file generation, hit Ctrl-A. If this is the first time for
the savefile, confirm that you really want to do this (it won't be asked
again if you hit Ctrl-A again). Then, when asked for a debug command,
hit the " (double-quote) key to request spoiler file generation, then
choose one of the four available spoiler files. IIRC, the spoiler files
will be generated in \lib\user.

Best, Hugo
