# Forum:Configure file problems?

&lt; Forum:Watercooler

I'm on Mac OS X and im writing the nethack default file, but what i'm writing never appears in my game. i put the file itself in my library/preferences folder of my Hard Drive on my Mac. Wanna help?

If you're talking about the nethackrc-file, it shouldn't be placed in preferences, but rather named ".nethackrc" (without the quotes) and placed in your home folder. The placement of the config-file is in general different for every platform and tty/tiles. Inari 19:00, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
