Subject: more wishing assistance (trunk only)
X-Git-Tag: MOVE2GIT~167
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e63a64a4ef9cbd4552fe1dffe46f066165147be;p=nethack

more wishing assistance (trunk only)

     It's possible to ask for help on the first wish attempt, even though
the prompt hasn't been adjusted to mention that yet, so the one message
which is composed dynamically needs to have its phrasing tweaked a bit
more if the user happens to do that.

     Also, allow help to be requested even when the cmdassist option is
toggled off.  Now that option just controls whether the prompt string is
augmented for retry attempts.
