I am not english speaker'native.Please you can display one command for help.
(At-the-question "What next?")
(I-can-enter the command "/?")
Your game display same options ("Goto" , "Jump", "See up","Run")
I can not spend two hours search-ing the correct words.

You will need quite well developed English language skills to play a text adventure like the ones that John writes these days, I'm afraid. There are plenty of easier adventures out there should you wish a more gentle learning curve.

However... here are some of the verbs you'll need to use...

EXAMINE, SEARCH, USE, LOOK, GET

Adventure games may not be for you, then. :)

(There's solutions to John's recent games on CASA should you get stuck)

It's a good idea, and several games do already do this, but I doubt it's something that John is going to start doing at 72. :)
