ABOUT THIS GAME

`Dr. Theobold' is a text adventure game, which means that you play the
game in a terminal, and that you play by reading text in the terminal
and enter commands on the keyboard.

Commands need to be kept as simple as possible to be recognized. E.g.,
you would enter `put water in bottle' and not `put the water in the
bottle'.

Use the `help' command to see a list of available commands. The list
might not cover every possible command that can be used.

The game begins outside the front door of Dr. Theobold's house. The
door is locked, so you must figure out how to get in.

Depending on your PicoLisp installation settings, you may have access
to command history with either vi-like or emacs-like keyboard
shortcuts.
