A patch

[Rupert G. Goldie <>]

This is a patch to allow a character to brace himself. This just means that you
stand still and won't move when you press a direction key. You will still attack
things but you won't move. This is useful for when you are standing outside a 
door and you are attacking the monsters streaming out, but you don't want to 
jump into the room when one of them dies.
 To brace yourself, press 's'. It is a toggle, so pressing 's' again unbraces 
you.
Enjoy,

Rupert
