                   WELCOME TO THE DUDLEY ADVENTURE!

Your commands can be expressed in the format:

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
