In The Caves of Dyanty, which is a Text Adventure Game, you, the player, play 
the part of an archaeologist who has been trapped in a complex of caves on an 
alien planet.  While playing The Caves of Dyanty, you will move around the 
fictional world of Dyanty by typing in commands on your keyboard.  You can 
type in commands as if you were talking normally.  The game will understand 
many common words, like:  LOOK, GET, EXAMINE, DROP, EAT, HIT, and many others.  
You can type in words like THE, A, AN, PLEASE, and NOW if you want, but the 
game will ignore them.  Here are some examples of valid commands:

           TAKE THE RED BACKPACK
           UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE GREEN KEY
           PULL CORD
           DROP RADIATION SUIT
           HIT THE ROBOT
           THROW THE SPAGHETTI AT HIM
                (him refers to the last noun used, in this case ROBOT)
           GET THE CANNONBALL

In this game and others you move about by using compass directions, such as
NORTH, SOUTH, SOUTHEAST, EAST, WEST, etc.  Other possible directions are UP,
DOWN, ENTER, and EXIT.  When moving, do not type GO before the direction.  
Just type the direction you want to go.  Many commands can be shortened to just
one or two letters.  For example, instead of typing NORTH, you can just type 
N, and SOUTHWEST can be abbreviated to SW.

Other important commands are summarized in the following list:

LOOK       used alone, gives a description of the surrounding area, used in
           combination with an object name, gives a description of the object.
EXAMINE    used to describe objects. (can be abbreviated to EX)
INVENTORY  gives a list of what you are carrying. (shortened to I)
SAVE       saves your position in the game.  asks if you want to change the
           current directory.  if you don't know what this means, the chances
           are good, that just typing Y will work fine.  you will then be asked
           for a filename.  type in something to call this save that you will
           be able to remember when you want to RESTORE the your saved game.
RESTORE    restores a previously SAVEd game.  uses the same process used in the 
           SAVE command. 
QUIT       quits the game.  (abbreviated to Q)
AGAIN      repeats the last command used.  (shortened to G)
SCRIPT     sends everything sent to the screen also to the printer.
UNSCRIPT   turns off the SCRIPT feature.

Compound commands can be entered by using the words AND and THEN and by using
commas (,) and semicolons (;).  You should never use periods (.), exclamation
points (!), or question marks (?) in your commands.  Here are some examples of
possible compound commands:

           OPEN THE DOOR THEN ENTER
           TAKE THE RED KEY, EXAMINE IT THEN PUT IT IN THE BACKPACK

Order is very important when entering commands.  Although GIVE THE EGG TO THE
MAN and GIVE THE MAN THE EGG are interpreted the same by people, they are very
different to the computer.  The first command is correct.  The second one is
incorrect because the computer would probably interpret it as meaning that you
wanted to give the man to the egg.  Another mistake to avoid is the use of the
word USE, as in USE THE RED KEY TO UNLOCK THE BLUE DOOR.  This should be just
entered as UNLOCK THE BLUE DOOR WITH THE RED KEY.
