Be warned that setting/clearing flags and ZAP-ing may break a game world and render that savegame useless.
The ZAP command is particularly dangerous as it permanently removes anything within 1 square in each of the cardinal directions and replace it with an empty space. You can easily ZAP an object containing vital code that was disguised as scenery or a part of a wall.
