When you first arrive into a new area the computer will assume that you have
looked, it will show you a description of the room and a list of who and what
is in it.

If you look at the above screen, there are 4 areas to look at:
- The first line is the name of the room you are in, a lot of rooms can have
the same name, but it helps describe where you are a bit.
- The next few paragraphs in this room are counted as description of the room,
in this case, this is the guest room and isn't really a description of where
you are, more of how to get around and a few things you might want to know.
- Finally towards the bottom are two more standard lines, the first says
"Exits: " and then lists directions to go, you should be able to
type the info in <>'s i.e. <ts> type 'ts' (always remove the '
' marks )
- And the last section "Contents" shows what items and players
are in the same room as you.
If the room doesn't have an "Exits" line, the directions which are
available will probably hinted at in the description. If there are other awake
people, or items in the same room as you, under the "Exits" line will
be a "Contents" list.
You can look at objects and people in the room by doing 'look <name>'
replacing the <name> with the name of the object, in the above screen
you could do 'look Woof'. If you want to look at yourself, you can either do
it by your name or do 'look me'
Finding info on people in the room with you couldn't be simpler. There's nothing
worse than calling someone he when its a she and the other way round, you can
also find out without having to look at each person what type of animal they
are by typing 'ws' standing for WhoSpecies. It lists a list of all players in
the room and their gender and species. You cant currently do this for people
not in the same room as you, so just tread carefully.
OK, you've now learned how to move around, however, if you see someone you
might like to talk to them! if you type 'help' this should cover most of the
basic commands you might need.
