Tips
- Type
it or them for the last thing you mentioned: take lamp, then examine it.
look, examine, inventory, hint, journal, score, undo and the save commands don't count as moves.- Up and down arrows recall your earlier commands.
- Tap a thing in the Here or Carrying row to put it into the command you are typing (for example after
give or use).
