 =head2 output-count
-output-sync controls how often information is sent to the screen. Each
+   output-count [lines]
-buffer has its own time value, and will be flushed independantly. The
-default value is 16 ticks (about 2 seconds).
 output-count sets after how many messages of the same type, they are
 then printed out.  If the value was 10, then after killing ten orcs, the
 message '10 times you kill orc' would be printed out. The default value is
 1 - this means that all messages get printed out as they are requested -
 buffering is disabled in this regard.
-See also L<output-sync>.
-=head2 output-rate [bytes per second]
-Show the current setting of the output-rate, or set it to the provided
-value.  The server will try not to send (much) more than this many bytes
-per second to your client. If the rate is exceeded, the server tries to
-hold back less important information (such as new images), to increase
-responsiveness. The server-side default is usually quite high, around
-100000, so if you have a slow link and want to be able to control your
-character even when downloading faces, set this to a lower value, such as
-7000 (for ISDN).
-=head2 output-sync
 output-sync controls how often information is sent to the screen. Each
 buffer has its own time value, and will be flushed independantly. The
-default value is 16 ticks (about 2 seconds).
+default value is usually less than a second.
+See also L<output-sync>.
+=head2 output-rate
+   output-rate [bytes per second]
+Show the current setting of the output-rate, or set it to the provided
+value. The server will try very hard not to send more than this many bytes
+per second to your client. If the rate is exceeded, the server tries to
+hold back less important information (such as new images) to increase
+responsiveness.
+The server-side default is usually quite high, around 100000. If the
+server is running on a Linux kernel, it will adjust to the actual
+bandwidth available, and output-rate only sets an upper bound. That is,
+the server will automatically set an optimal send rate and adjusting your
+output-rate is not required.
+=head2 output-sync
+   output-sync [seconds]
+output-sync controls how often information is sent to the screen. Each
+buffer has its own time value, and will be flushed independantly. The
+default value is usually less than a second.
 output-count sets after how many messages of the same type, they are
 then printed out.  If the value was 10, then after killing ten orcs, the
 message '10 times you kill orc' would be printed out. The default value is
 1 - this means that all messages get printed out as they are requested -

-=over 4

-=item anything else: displays details for quests (finished or not) with name containing the given string.
-=back
 =head2 quit
 Deletes your character from the server. If you want to quit the session
 without deleting your character, you must use a I<Bed to Reality>. Find a
 bed (probably in a building close to where you entered the game), get on
 top of it, and apply it using B<Tab> ro the B<apply> command.
 =head2 range
 Your range weapon can be one of several weapons, a spell you cast, a
 bow-and-arrow, a rod, or a wand, to name a few.
 Your range weapon is fired when you press SHIFT-direction, and will be
 fired in that direction.
 =head2 ready_skill
    ready_skill <name of skill>
 readied, some need to be actively used by "firing" them.
 If you just want to invoke a skill once, leaving your range slot
 untouched, use L<use_skill> instead.
 =head2 rename
 Changes/removes the custom name of given item (or the marked one).
    rename oldname to newname
 If the new name is empty (i.e. C<"">), then the original (unrenamed) name
 will be restored.
 Note: maximum allowed name length is 127 characters.
-=head2 reply
-   reply <message>
-Similar to tell, but instead of having to supply a username, it replies
-to the last player that sent you a tell. This is a bit racy (e.g. when
-somebody else tells you something while you type and you do not realise
-that), so be careful not to supply confidential information in the
-message.
 =head2 resistances
 This shows you the resistances you have to specific attack types.
 If you have for example "cold +20", it means you get 20% damage done
 Toggles between sound enabled and disabled. This has no relevance to the
 sound settings of the client, it only governs wether the server will send
 sound effect command to the client and is enabled if the client supports
 sound (i.e. always for cfplus).
+=head2 sourcecode
+This command displays the means to download the sourcecode (server code,
+maps and archetypes) used to implement this version of the game.
+Every player has the right to download and modify the source code of the
+server, as required by both the GNU General Public License and the GNU
+Affero General Public license.
+If you modify your version of the server, you will have to provide a means
+to download the modified sources (and resources) via this command. If you
+run an unmodified version of the server, the default will do.
 =head2 statistics
 B<statistics> shows various useful information about your character.
 None of the information it shows is stuff that is not contained in the
 documentation.
    title <new title>
    title clear   # Sets your title back to your race.
 Dragons cannot set their title because it changes during the game.
-=head2 traps
-ERROR: not a command, but another help topic => move to a different file maybe?
-I recommend the following
-keybindings
-'bind search
-s
-'bind disarm
-d
-Then you can use the 's' and
-'d' keys for searching for and
-disarming traps.
-Traps appear at random in doors and in chests. Search those before you
-open them up. Search by going near where you suspect a trap, and type 's'
 =head2 unignore
    unignore <login>
 Cancels all ignores set for the specified login. See B<ignore>.
 The wimpy level is the amount of health points (hp) that may be left before you
 automatically run away. This may be useful in hand-to-hand combats but should
 not be used when the opponent attacks with spells.
