THE PARSER
~~~~~~~~~~
The parser in The Golden Fleece is certainly as sophisticated as any you
will have come across in previous adventures. You communicate with the
game by typing in your entry in plain English when you see the prompt >,
finishing with the <RETURN> key.
To move around, just type in the desired direction, remembering that from
any location there may be the eight compass directions: NORTH, NORTHEAST,
EAST, SOUTHEAST, SOUTH, SOUTHWEST, WEST, NORTHWEST, plus UP and DOWN and
IN and OUT. These can be abbreviated to N,NE,E,SE,S,SW,W,NW,U,D, although
IN and OUT have no abbreviations. The commands can be expressed in many
ways - thus, NORTH could be typed in as `NORTH', `GO NORTH', `GO TO THE
NORTH' or simply `N'.
With certain verbs you are able to use multiple objects. Thus if you find
yourself in a location in which you wish to acquire several items, you
could type in `TAKE THE LAMP THE SHOTGUN AND THE LOG'. Note that `THE' &
`AND' are understood, but not required, and the above command could just
as easily be `TAKE LAMP SHOTGUN LOG'.
