Information: abbreviations - shortcuts for standard commands Description: First of all, all standard directions like 'north', 'west', 'south', 'east' plus 'up' and 'down' can be abbreviated with the first letter: 'n', 'w', etc. The diagonal directions 'northwest', 'southwest', 'southeast' and 'northeast' work with 'nw', 'sw', 'se' and 'ne'. And most standard commands can be abbreviated with any number of letters. For the command 'look' you can use also 'l', 'lo', etc. If two or more commands begin with the same letter(s), the one which has been defined first, will respond. Use a unique abbreviation then, or take the time to find out which one has priority. For example 't' might mean 'talk' as well as 'tell', but 'tell' has been given priority, so you can safely use 't' instead of 'tell'. These commands for adventurers can be abbreviated (principally in ABC order, except for given priorities - see above): alias away converse examine health history inventory kill look search score show tell talk who whisper And here for wizards only (in ABC order): clone destruct goto more people reload stat update yell Some more special abbreviations are provided: x for 'examine'/'look at' ' for 'say' : for 'emote' (for adventurers in some special places only, e.g. in pubs) Note: If you need further abbreviations, use 'alias' - see 'help alias'. The behaviour explained above ('tell' vs. 'talk') can be changed with aliases, too (see also 'help alias'). See also: helpdir/shell, helpdir/alias, helpdir/do, helpdir/history
