Help

To use the help file system effectively there are only a few
things you should know:

Words that appear in bright cyan or are in the "See also:"
information are master keywords.  Master keywords are basically
main topics discussed in the help files.  At any time you are in
the game you can type help and the master keyword and see the help.

Everything that is an example of how you would use the command
is preceeded with a > and then text in this color.

> help       (This will show you a basic help table.)

> listhelp   (This will give you a comprehensive list of every
              master keyword available.)

> help items (This will show you the help information associated
              with the master keyword items.)

A few things that might help you along the way:

There are secondary keywords for help as well, these keywords are
basically invisible to you, but work as well.  Thus the following
will pull up the exact same help entry:

> help warrior

> help fighter

It does an intelligent search on keywords, which means for example
the following are the same:

> help distant lands

> help dist lan

> help d l

However, keep in mind the more you type on the word you are
looking for the more precise it gets, so:

> help armor    (Would show you the help for the master keyword
                 armor, which happens to be a spell.)

> help armor ra (Would show you the help for the master keyword
                 armor rating, which describes the basic armor
                 structure for Distant Lands.)
