SETMARK
Syntax: setmark add
Syntax: setmark delete
Syntax: setmark desc
Syntax: setmark distance

Landmarks are the points on the overland maps that the survey command uses
to display its information to players. The data is stored in a simple text
file in the directory with the ANSI maps.

To add a landmark, go to the coordinates you want it to be at and simply
type: setmark add

To remove one, go to the coordinates it is at and simply type:
setmark delete

The description is just a short line of text to describe what the survey
command sees. When editing the description, keep it as short as possible,
do not capitalize words unless referring to names, and do not add punctuation
to the end of the line. To change the description, go to the landmark
coordinates and type: setmark desc , Where is the
description you want.

Distance is the number of spaces the landmark is visible from on the overland.
Try not to make the distance too large, or too small. Anything visible for
more than 50 or so spaces is most likely too large - unless the landmark is
intended to display a large geographical feature such as a mountain.
