Here are some questions you might asked yourself over time.
Also some nice Tips and Tricks are listed here, which you may find informative.

=head2 X<faq_igniteandthaw>How do I thaw icecubes? Or: How do I ignite a torch?

There are a few options:
The right-click context menu in the L<Inventory|playerbook_inventory> reveals
B<ignite/thaw>, which will ignite something or thaw icecubes.
You will need a B<flint & steel> L<$ARCH/light/flint_and_steel.base.111.png> for this
to work!

An alternative would be to use the L<mark|command/mark> and L<apply|command/apply>
commands like this:

   mark icecube
   apply flint and steel

If you need to something do this often, I recommend using the L<Bind
Recorder|binding_recorder>.

newer driver, or a driver from your hardware vendor, that features OpenGL
support.

If this is not an option, the following Setup options reduce the load and
will likely make the client playable with software rendering (it will
still be slow, though):
