On my Linux system, with game installed to ~/eClient, Movies and Screenshots are placed in ~/.egenesis/egyptc -Marquetarian

[Alt-D] Freeze Horizon (check it out) - more technically, "don't draw sky dome"

[Alt-F] Freeze Screen (T1), now just prints "model vertices:0" at the top left of the screen

[Alt-J] No Texturing (?) - Messes up some textures

[Alt-L] Lock/Unlock Camera Position

[Alt-N] Mouse Hack

[Alt-S] Turn (some) Models Off

[Scroll Lock] Refresh/Reload Game Information - try this if the client gets out of date/funky

On the Mac, use Option instead of Alt. Yes, these do work!
