For immortals

Syntaxostring name field [string | keyword]

This command can be used to change most of the text strings associated with objects.

field is one of the following:

name                  The key name of the object.
short                 The full name of the object (a few words).
medium                For when the object is seen in room (one line).
extra                 Adds an extra description.  Must be followed by a keyword.
delete-extra          Used to remove extra descriptions.
                      Must be followed by keyword.
action-description    Object action text.

Where a string is expected as the last argument, a newline will make you enter a string mode, and the game will prompt you for new lines to the string until you exceed the maximum length for the string or you end a line with a '^'.

When doing long descriptions, use this format:

  ostring hat long<ENTER>
  You see Marik's ugly ski hat with an ugly tassel on the end...<ENTER>
  @<ENTER>
