Re: Working on our parser:

Continuence from Mabus

autoaim - Target for projectile weapons, autoaims at the most powerful npc.
autolook - Some muds don't autolook on entry to a room.
continue - could be they feel an NPC or text announce has more to say, or see more
crop -This is a system command to crop rather than wrap a long spam.
display - Some games allow you to set your display type (this is an older terminal type command a similar command is cols/rows (setting for column width and rows)
friend - some games have friend systems, where you can add friends and be auto-notified when they log in. This can also designate a familiar and wether you have one.
inherit - This is normally a controller command for builders they may be testing your system for backdoor cheats.
more - looks like trying to continue a long help file (some would use C for continue, or just enter). The more command is a parser command and sometimes lets you set the cols rather than show above in "display"
name - renaming? This can also be confused with the alias command.
page - like a tell? This is like a pager to staff members. OR it can be similar to cols.
path - some games allow paths for new players, and this might be checking for a list of available set paths to starting areas. OR this can be another backdoor for builders/creators.
prof - class, profession
ready (Put object into a hand?) - wear/wield all. Yes, this is an equip everything command.
room - no idea.
short - short adjective, games that have introduction systems allow setting a "short" , a gnome, short balding, a balding gnome. Usually a creator command showing the short description of an object.
survey - scan, look through all open exits and see what you can see.
term - Terminal type command. Very old.
what - they are obviously lost. In some games this gives you available commands in certain circumstances. This is rarely identifiable.
