Examining an Item

This information may seem a little confusing at the moment, however, its important that you read this and know where to come back and find it.

Often just looking at an object wont tell you the information you need, so there is a command called examine - it can be shortened to ex. 'ex <name>' will return the following type of information,

As you may notice, part way down the examine info is a how to get root properties instruction, type 'examine <object>=/' this will produce a screen as such

Muck Screen
dir /_/:(no value)
dir /_page/:(no value)
dir /_prefs/:(no value)
str /_smell:Woof-it smells of wet dog.
str /sex:Female
str /species:Labrador , Dog.

Your details may vary from this, however, it shows you an idea of what you should see. The properties such as /_page/ and /_prefs/ are directories and can be viewed with 'examine <object>=/_page/ and so on.
