help multiple multiples 'multiple items'
Ever had to differentiate between several items, perhaps named the same thing? The best way to do this is as follows. If you have two items named A BAG, they look the same but have different contents. LOOK IN BAG will let you look in the first one, and to look in the second one, type LOOK IN 2.BAG. Let's suppose that there are several bags: you would use 3.bag, 4.bag, 5.bag, 6.bag, and so forth. If there are five bags, and you'd like to get three, you can type GET 3 BAG. There is no period between the number and the item in this context, so keep that in mind. Now, let's suppose there are five bags on the ground, and you want to get them all at once. You'd type GET ALL.BAG, and you'd see: You get A bag (5). That number in brackets is how many you picked up. Remember, if you want to get all.<item> you have to use the FULL name, i.e. ALL.BAG instead of ALL.BA. Using the ALL.<ITEM> works for multiple things that share a keyword. For instance, if you have an item called A BAG FULL OF CHEESE, and an item called A STINKY BAG, and another item called A BAG, and you drop them all, you can pick them all back up again with GET ALL.BAG. Test it out, once you get a feel for it, you'll wonder how you lived without it!
