I'm just learning to use TextSL and can't quite figure out how to move
to specific objects. For example, after teleporting to Virtual
Ability, I enter "describe objects" and TextSL tells me this about
nearby objects:

There are Natural Fantasies Japanese Cherry with Shadow - Copy,
Motorcycle 3, Hash Brownie trippy hover on your west; Natural
Fantasies Japanese Cherry with Shadow - Copy, Orca Small v1.4, Baby
Orca v1.4 on your north; map, Door, Natural Fantasies Japanese Cherry
with Shadow - Copy on your east; Stealth Jet (CheezJet mod), Tank v0.6
on your south.

According to help, I should now be able to type "move to <object
name>".

However, I can't figure out how to specify an object name given the
above information. For example, the third item in the list is "Hash
Brownie trippy hover on your west". To move to that object, I've
tried:

move to Hash Brownie trippy hover
move to "Hash Brownie trippy hover"
move to Hash
move to 3
move to object 3

All of the above return the following error:
I could not understand where to move

Thanks for any help!

Also, I think the default range limit is too small. I tried
teleporting to several places where I expected to find named objects,
and "describe objects" always yielded no objects. It wasn't until I
entered "limit range 50000" that I finally was able to find 11 objects
at Virtual Ability.

Sorry about my late reply.

I tried what you did myself to be able to reproduce and understand the
problem.
I teleported to Virtual Abiliy and entered "describe objects".
Here's what it says:

There are F-16 in parts, Julia's Laughing Gull(wings up), VAI -
Welcome Center, Rugged Shore Rowboat, Tiered Mosaic Fountain Planter,
2 Orientation Center Teleporters, 2 The Sojourner Auditorium
Teleporters, Sea Turtle - v.1a, 2 Blue Orchid Cabana Teleporters, 2
Welcome Center Teleporters, 2 Advanced Tutorials Teleporters, 2 Mentor
Park Teleporters, 2 Yellow Hibiscus Cabana Teleporters, Donations to
Virtual Ability, 2 Donations to Virtual Ability, Inc.s, guided tour
rezzer v4.2, Tour Guide, IR Blue Butterfly and 2 Green IR Butterflies
around.

Then I entered "move to Rugged" and it did by saying:
You are moving to Rugged Shore Rowboat.

Then I entered "move to Tiered Mosaic Fountain Planter" and it did by
saying:
You are moving to Tiered Mosaic Fountain Planter.

The "move to" command is accepting partial or complete names of
objects without the use of double quotes. It looks for a complete
match and if it can't find that it returns the closest object
containing the given word(s) in its name. If it can't it says:
I could not understand where to move

As I explained I couldn't reproduce the problem but I will keep
looking until I find what might went wrong with your commands.

Thank you.
