Hi Tom.
That is I think why for all item manipulation puzzles, object use parzas with graphics replaced the complex parzas of text adventures in the main tream, starting with games like secret of monkey island and continuing even now in series like Resident evil.

it's just so much easier to have some general commands that can apply to objects.

Use, use with and examine are really all that is needed imho.

Also as games like descent into madness show, these are quite doable with a menue system rather than actual commands as well, which can speed things up too.

Beware the grue!

Dark.
