Ho do I wield weapons?

I spent nearly a hour trying to figure this our using several possible commands. when I try (U)se items it tells me to try to wield the weapon. I serched the command list several times and cannot find how to do this. This is probably something dreadfully simple but it is extremely frustrating.

Someone please help, or, failing that, flame me mercilessly.

press "i" to get the inventory

press "f" to wield something with your right hand
or:
press "g" to wield something with your left hand

this does not apply to bows, slings, crossbows, or any thrown weapon.

if it is a launcher of some sort (bow, sling, ect) put it in your "missle weapon" slot ("m")

if it is a projectile (arrows, rocks, boomerangs), put it in your "missles" slot ("n")

in order to (u)se a tool (like a hatchet or a torch), put it in your "tool" slot ("o") and "u"se it when needed (when occupying the same square as a tree, or when you enter a dark room)

don't forget to put out your torch ("u" when equipped and lit), or it will run out.

Seems you're a beginner! Glad to have you aboard ^^ Don't worry, you'll get the hang of the controls eventually. It takes some getting used to, but as soon as you've memorized the more important keys, your attention should turn to not dying completely.
You drop the golden ball.
You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west.
Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?"

Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is hit by a bolt of acid! Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is annihilated.
You hear the ecstatic cries of a large crowd!

Thank you.

I played around with it a few years ago and it seemed much easier. I'm quite sure I used to be able to just use W.

This doesn't seem too much more complicated though.

If you are a new player, don't forget to use the (l)ook kommand, it is very useful.

If you were using W, are you sure you weren't playing nethack,angbad, or something similar?

In any event, welcome aboard:)
