This entry tells a level editor (such as [[Worldcraft]]) that it has the options of being selectively available in easy, medium, hard, nightmare or deathmatch skill levels (Appearflags) and then it gives the choice of which rune of the four runes to insert into the level (the default in this case is the item_sigil for episode 1 as indicated by a 1 instead of a 0).
