WELCOME TO THE DUDLEY ADVENTURE!

Your commands can be expressed in the format:

verb phrase - noun phrase - preposition - noun phrase/object

For example:
PUT THE SMALL COIN IN THE SLOT
EXAMINE THE MOUSE, THE GUARD AND THE STATUE
EAT THE PUPU PLATTER
HIT THE DEAN WITH THE ARTICHOKE
IGNORE HIM (HIM refers to last noun mentioned, e.g. the dean)
GET THE BOOK or TAKE THE BOOK
READ IT (IT refers to last noun mentioned, e.g. the book)
GET ALL or DROP ALL

Compound commands are created by connecting single commands with AND, THEN,
or a comma or semicolon to connect two or more separate commands, such as:
CLIMB THE FENCE THEN SOUTH, WEST AND NORTHWEST
OPEN THE DESK AND THEN EXAMINE IT; CLOSE THE DESK
DROP THE WOMBAT AND THE COIN THEN UNLOCK THE DOOR AND THEN EXIT

Some GENERAL COMMANDS that can be of great help are:

EXAMINE or READ : Describes the in detail.
TAKE : Adds the to your inventory.
DROP : Removes the from your inventory.
OPEN or CLOSE : Just what it says.

Also, the CURSOR KEYS correspond to the various movement/compass directions.

    This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

    But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
