While playtesting a hold, I've found these key commands:
1) Ctrl+F3 (Hold)
2) Alt+F7
And I don't even know what they do. The fact is that these commands aren't given in help document.

Guys, they've found Alt+F7.

Abort the mission immediately, burn all the records.

Ctrl-F3 reloads graphics. I'm pretty sure it's documented somewhere, because I remember reading about it. No idea where, though.

Yes. It was on display at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying beware of the leopard.

What were you doing going through my leopard lavatory literature? :angry

After briefly looking through the ingame TSS help documents I found that the Alt+F7 command is documented under a topic called "Keyboard Commands" and apparently it toggles the framerate and sound memory usage display. However, that topic is not listed on the Contents screen of the help functon. Instead, you will have to click on "Quick Start & Keyboard Commands" first, then use the Keyboard Commands link in THAT topic to get to the actual Keyboard Commands for the Keyboard Commands! :P

I guess it wouldn't really be DROD if viewing the game instructions wasn't a puzzle.
Speaking of which...

I have also found mention of the reload graphics functionality. It's hidden at the bottom of the "Room Editor" page, which in turn is hidden at the bottom of the "Level Editor" page. It says that simply pressing F3 reloads the graphics in the editor, maybe Ctrl+F3 does the same during the actual game?

Feature request: secret walls you have to break with your mouse cursor to find hidden help pages.
