Definitely use a "client" which is software that works with telnet. Telnet is the mini-program that comes with your computer, that youv'e been using to access games. Zmud, MushClient, Gmud, are all good. Get the free versions to start with. Zmud you can download from and look for older versions which they offer free (and unsupported).
Common commands for non-MUSH games (I don't know how MUSHes work, never played any):
Directionals - n/s/e/w and some have ne, se, sw, nw. u/d. Some have "enter building" and some have "go door" instead. Look at the room descriptions to figure out what's in each room and what kinds of entrances might be there for you to try out.
Then there's kill, flee, stand, sit, say, and some have act while others have emote.
Big bit of advice for you: Don't play ANY game that doesn't have a website with topics that help you learn about the game. Topics might be:
About our game
Combat
Skills
Character development/creation
Classes
Guilds/Clans
PvP
Policies/Rules
Not all games will include all these topics, and they won't all be called exactly what I typed. But you get the idea. If they don't give you information about all this stuff on the website, don't play the game. It will take you longer to figure stuff out than it'll take you to play, and that'll just **** you off and make you want to try <groan/hurl/puke/shudder> graphics.
