The Basics :
To help you with the basics of playing the game, here's a few basic commands to get you started.
Commands are entered at the > prompt at the bottom of the screen. These are only a small part of what the game understands - try whatever English commands seem appropriate at any given point. Note that the game only recognises the first six characters of each word.
Going Places:
Compass directions will get you most places - use E, W, S, N, NE etc. (Out, In. Down and Up will also work in many places).
Typical Actions:
Lie Down (you'll find this useful when facing the bulldozer)
Get Up (a good way to start the game)

Look - gives you a full description of your current location
Diagnose - gives you a report of your physical condition
Inventory - gives you a list of what you are carrying (abbreviates to I)
Wait - electronic equivalent of taking a nap
Get, Get All - lets you pick things up
Open - open something closed
Examine - fully describe an object
Drop, Drop All - put things down
Where is, What is, Who is - questions about places, things and people in the game
Communicating:
When you come across another character in the game, you can talk to them
by entering their name followed by a comma, then the question, e.g.:
Ford, where are you going?
Marvin, give me the hammer
