Target

General Help File

Usage: target

       target <keyword>
       target <#>

Description: This command is used to declare a specific target that you can then use with all sorts of commands that require a target. You can target using a keyword (which is the most common usage), or you can target with a number that corresponds to the number you see next to a living being when you type "look" in a room.

Living beings are targetable, as are some non-living things. Once you have a target, its "con" icon will be surrounded by < > so you can easily see what you have targetted.

Link: con, look
