Foil 46 MOO Commands from request: help manipulation

From CPS600 Collaboration Presentation CPS600 Spring Semester 1995 Technologies for the Information Age -- March 1995. by Roman Markowski and Geoffrey Fox * See also color IMAGE

Objects usually have verbs defined on them that allow players to manipulate and use them in various ways. Standard ones are:
  • get -- pick an object up and place it in your inventory
  • drop -- remove an object from your inventory and place it in the room
  • put -- take an object from your inventory and place it in a container
  • give -- hand an object to some other player
  • look -- see what an object looks like
You can see what objects you're carrying with the 'inventory' command; see 'help inventory' for details.
Some specialized objects will have other commands. The programmer of the object will usually provide some way for you to find out what the commands are. One way that works for most objects is the 'examine' command; see 'help examine' for details.
The following specialized objects have help entries you should consult:
  • notes -- objects that allow text to be written on them and read later
  • letters-- notes that a recipient can burn after reading
  • containers -- objects that may contain other objects
