Try "SHARPEN PENCIL 'with' <something>" or "SHARPEN PENCIL 'using'
<something>".

I'll assume that you already know what the something is... but maybe not!

Thanks,
I assumed a 2-word parser, so was trying to guess another verb, but
reading the other thread now I see it's not.

Sure.
cheers, Emiliano.

What do I type in order to be able to use the pencil on the paper?
I'm guessing I need to draw a map of the maze so I don't get lost in
the field, but I tried write and draw and I can't figure out what to
type. Am I on the wrong track, or is there just a specific way to
phrase it?

thanks

Try >DRAW MAP.

That's correct. You can also type DRAW MAP OF MAZE, DRAW MAP OF
FIELD and with the new release 2 there are a couple other
combinations that will work (DRAW MAP WITH PENCIL). It's amazing
that with only 10K available, every byte must be conserved for
the actual game and so many verbs are paired down to the bare
essentials (there are only 14 verbs used by Moonglow). Eery verb
entry must be chosen carefully. Every sentence must have a
purpose. I just put in the remaining small bug fixes and added a
few more extentions to the verb list for MOONGLOW Release 2. It
now sits at 10240 bytes (10K x 1024 bytes per K) and so I can't
sequeeze a single additional byte of programming into the 10K
Miniventure without removing something I've already written
first. I was able to squeeze in my name but had to cut out a
couple of minor words in other areas to do it 😉 Release 2 is
now at the Miniventure homepage (see below).

The second and third Miniventures (tentatively titled CATSEYE and
PRISONERS DILEMMA respectively) are underway. I'm still looking
for more Miniventure co-authors (see my page for details).
