To go to a particular place, you type @go followed by the name of the place. For example:

Example: look news - to see the description of that object

examine object


Example: examine news - to see the description, and additional information, like the owner of the object, and some commands on how to use it.


Communicating With Other People


To talk to someone in the same room as you are, you type a quotation mark '"' followed by what you want to say, like this:

"Hello There!


You see: You say, "Hello there!"

Everyone else in the room sees: Ann says "Hello there!"

You can use body language, also known as emoting, by typing a colon followed by text like this:

:smiles

You see: Ann smiles.

Everyone else in the room sees: Ann smiles

Often, when several people are in the same room, you may want to address a particular person. To do that type 'to' followed by the name of the person you want to talk to, and then what you want to say.

to John Good to see you again :-).


John, you, and everyone else sees: Ann [to John]: Good to see you again.


To send a private message to someone in the same room, type whisper, the person's name followed by what you want to say, like this:

whisper John what are you doing after class?


To communicate with people who are not in the same place you are, you can 'page' them:

page John Do you have time for a question?



The 'page' command can be shortened to '-' like this:

-john Hi, may I come over?



You can also 'remote emote' by typing:

+john smiles and waves

You can type the statement alone or add a user's name to it as well as 'me', referring to yourself. For example,
