+Most files in this directory are use by the get_rnd_line function for various
+purposes in the game. They can be edited and customised by the user with any
+ascii text editor. If you add / remove lines you should modify the index (the
+first line) accordingly. If you set an invalid index or remove the buffer line
+weird messages and other things can appear, and you can crash the game. Please
+see sample.txt before you try modifying the files.
+The a_*.txt and w_*.txt are used when the game generates a random artifact.
+However, instead of picking a name from the appropriate file, the game may
+form a new name from syllables[].
+
