Large Plaza [Mekali City] [Room 3000]
  You are in the middle of a wide square plaza, with streets running in all 
directions.  Crushed grey stone has been spread around on the ground to 
cover the dirt.  In the middle of the square is a huge stone disk, upon 
which stands the statue of a regal looking dwarf.  There are some trees and 
bushes along the edges of the plaza.  Small shops line the streets in all 
directions, and you see and hear many people in those directions.

edit[ 1 - commands.txt]AUTO-MAPPER AUTOMAPPER
The automapper is an ASCII map display of the rooms in your proximity.  The 
mapper will display the rooms according to their sector type, as listed 
below.  The mapper makes getting to know the surrounding area simple, but it 
is still critical to read the room descriptions.  Some of the general 
features of the automapper are:

  * Rooms within the line of sight are displayed 
  * Range is affected by darkness 
  * Ability to display rooms in all directions, including these not in the
     cardinal directions 
  * Abilty to clear the screen and display the map each time you move 
  * Map automatically refreshes when a door is opened or closed 
  * Areas that have different map scales  

The mapper displays rooms according to their sector types, each with a 
character and color code.  Listed below is the available sectors: 
  I = inside                   ` = swimable water 
  C = city                     " = underwater 
  - = field                    - = noswim 
  + = forest                   . = air 
  ^ = hills                    = = swamp 
  % = mountain                 d = desert 
  @ = cave
 
Also noted ASCII characters # means that the map in that direction changes 
scale, like leaving mekali, the world map is on a different scale. The * in 
the middle of the map is you.

Here are a few commands related to the automapper: 
 map - displays the map for the room you are currently in.

  the room when you look or move.

  the map at the top of the page. 
 nomapexits - the grey lines linking each room will not be displayed
