7.13 Combat initiation commands.

Here are some of the useful commands for use in a combat situation:

KILL <thing>   - Attacks somebody with your fists. See HELP FISTICUFFS.
JAB <thing>    - Attacks somebody with SLASH weapons. See HELP SWORDPLAY.
CUT <thing>    - Attacks somebody with CRUSH weapons. See HELP SWORDPLAY.
SHOOT <thing> - Attacks somebody with a BOW and ARROWS.

THROW <item> AT <thing> - Attacks somebody using a THROWN item. See the   
                 Information held in HELP THROWING.

CONCENTRATE    - Concentrates only on fights which involve you.
RELAX          - Relaxes so that you will see all local combat.
FIGHTBRIEF     - Brief fight messages for the large fight.
FIGHTVERBOSE   - Fleshy fight messages for the duel.
FVB            - Very brief, terse fight messages for heavy fighting.
ENTOURAGE OFF  - To disable entourage following messages.   
ENTOURAGE ON   - To enable entourage following messages.

Remember that both SHOOT and THROW can be done from long distance, providing you are near enough to see your opponent using either LOOK or SQUINT. To use distances you place the direction to shoot or throw at the end. So "SHOOT PANAIDEOS NORTH" would be typ ed by somebody attempting to shoot you from the south.
