help > brief
Command: brief Syntax: brief This command toggles you between brief and loquacious modes. If you are in brief mode, you will only see the short description of any room you enter. In loquacious, you will see the long description. Brief is usualy the prefered mode, for those familiar with the areas they are in, as it cuts down on the amount of text scrolling across your screen. Typing 'look' will still show you the longer description if you have a need to see it. It is important to note, however, that certain informational things will be missed while in brief mode, mostly having to do with weather and light conditions. It is also unwise to attempt to do quests in brief mode, as you are apt to miss a lot of important clues that might be written into certain room descriptions.
