.: Help for look

The look command looks at things in the room around
you.

Usage: 

  look              Look at the room you are in.
  look north        Peer into the room to the north.
  look dave         Look at the player or NPC named dave.
  look sword        Examine a sword you are carrying or wearing.
  look 2.sword      Examine the second sword (backpack + equipped).

The look command searches your backpack and equipped
items as a single pool. If you have a dagger in your pack and
another one wielded, look 2.dagger examines the wielded one.
The game tells you where the item is (backpack or equipment slot).

Sometimes there is text in a room description that warrants a
closer look. You can often look at highlighted words for more
information.
