The dot (or period or full stop), ".", character is used in NetHack for several purposes:

  • The rest command.
  • To represent empty dungeon floor, and ice.
  • To represent venom in the animation of it being spat.

Press [.] when asked for a direction, such as when zapping a wand, to direct your action at yourself.
