+1.0 style points for believable rogue-like commands and responses
+0.2 style points for explicit and gratuitous observation of 284:3

Commentary-
Let us laud this return to the stylistic premise of the rogue-like.
Also, we are now clear of the temporary restriction of the five
stones. The problem that this rule either poses or solves (as req'd by
284:7) seems to be that there is a streetlamp attached to the ground.
Or that an anvil is not too heavy to throw while a streetlamp is too
heavy to lift. Whichever, the former is solved by posing the latter.

For those who would like them, command reference sheets for NetHack
and ADOM may be found at http://drop.io/r4p7pd4 but don't feel it
necessary to adhere to them. ADOM, for one, logs messages without
noting which command initiated its response.
