			* {{boldmono\|FLAG ANNOUNCETPS OFF}} -- this turns off the game sending frequent messages about every time your field experience converts into training points.
			* {{boldmono\|FLAG DIALOGS OFF}} -- this turns off the dialog pop-up boxes and instead puts the information in the main story window.
			* {{boldmono\|FLAG SHOWSERVICE OFF}} -- this turns off a large text block upon login about what services are in the area. Services can always be viewed by typing {{boldmono\|[[SERVICE]] SHOW}}.
			* {{boldmono\|FLAG SORTEDVIEW ON}} -- this sorts out a container by type of item, which is very useful for mental grouping of information.
			* {{boldmono\|FLAG NOAMBIENTMSG ON}} -- this turns off ambient fluff messages from other players' items which may be distracting and overwhelming when learning the game. It doesn't work with all scripts, but should help to cut down some of the text clutter.

	The 2-column layout of this in-game Skills Manager is a bit clunky to get used to when using a screen reader, unfortunately, due to the contents of the first column needing to be read before you can hear the contents of the second column. The numbers corresponding to the skills never change, however, and it can be easy enough to keep a separate document listing which skills you need to train in each level and their corresponding numbers - before long, you'll have them memorized.
