MINIMAP SURVEY

If you'd like to see a little ascii map of your surroundings you can
"toggle minimap" to turn it on.  Turning off the COMPASS is suggested
when using the minimap to save screen space.

The map is a rough "line of sight" map that looks in the cardinal
directions from where you are.  You can't see through doors and the
distance you can see is based on factors such as if it's light outside,
or bad weather, or perhaps if you're sitting on the ground.  It also
doesn't let you see as far when you're inside or underground, for example.
Drow and Deurgar see farther at night and less far in the day, opposite
from everyone else.

Note, the graphical representation isn't accurate or even meant to be
because in this magical world, distances are often warped, magical
fields create confusion, and sometimes rooms connect only in one
direction so the minimap is a only rough approximation.

Additionally, there is a SURVEY command that lets you see a broader
area, but there's a delay associated and it uses some stamina.
