 The C<bowmode> controls how you will fire arrows and bolts.
 When you are braced, you lose your Dex bonus and incur a 2 point
 ac penalty beyond that (if you have a negative Dex bonus, you may in
 fact come out ahead. You also only get 20% of the normal experience
 for killing creatures, and incur a 4 point WC (to hit) penalty.

    cast burning hands
 sets your I<range> slot to B<spell: burning hands>.
+Some spells take an extra argument after their name, for example, B<cast
+dimension door 5> limits the maximum jump distance to 5 spaces.
-If you don't know the spell, shows which spells you do know.
+If you don't enter a spell name, shows which spells you do know.
 It is helpful to bind string like B<cast burning hands> to keys.
 See C<help range> for more information on range weapons.
 If a name is specified then only pets with that
 name will be killed, e.g. killpets bat will kill bats
 but not bees. If a number is specified, the pet
 corresponding to that number is killed.
+=head2 lock
+   lock [object]
+The lock command is a quick and convenient way to
+lock items in your inventory.

+objects that match that name are locked.

+lock by itself will lock everything in your
+inventory.
 =head2 mapinfo
 Shows some information about the map like this:
    world_105_115 (/world/world_105_115) in scorn
 The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about
 40 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads
 most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is
 currently being loaded, but that's rare, as loading a map is fast.
-=item Svd: the amount of seconds the map was last saved (++ means >99).
+=item Svd: the amount of seconds since the map was last saved (++ means >99).
 The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if
 it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot
 emergency save), at most 20 seconds of gameplay are lost.
    mark sword
 B<mark> will look for best match first, and then look for matches based
 on shortened name, object name, archetype name. It prints the match it
 finds.
+=head2 me
+   me <message>
+Sends a message to all players on the server, similar to chat, but instead
+of using C<name chats: message>, the form C<* name message> is used, which
+is useful to describe yourself, such as:
+   me feels lonely
+   =>
+   * schmorp feels lonely
 =head2 motd
 Shows the message of the day. It takes no arguments.
 =over 4

 are level 4 in both skills and in literacy, you have 9944 experience points.
 You need to reach 16000 to gain another level. The 25% at the end show you what
 percentage of your experience is permanent, which means you cannot lose it if
 you die.
-=head2 sort_inventory
-If sort_inventory is set, items will be inserted into your inventory
-in order by type than alphabetical. This, all scrolls will be grouped
-together, but in alphabetical order. Same for all weapons. This only
-applies to new items you pick up - items that you are already holding will
-not be sorted.
-If sort_inventory is not set (default), items will be inserted via type,
-subtype and magic. This, all axes will be grouped together in magic order,
-all daggers by magic order, etc. Unfortunately, for scrolls and rings, new
-ones just get inserted last.
-If you have a lot of stuff that is not in alphabetical order but you would
-like it to be, the best method is to drop all of it and then pick it up.
 =head2 sound
 Toggles between sound enabled and disabled. This has no relevance to the
 sound settings of the client, it only governs whether the server will send
 sound effect command to the client and is enabled if the client supports
 sound (i.e. always for the deliantra client).
+An argument of C<0> disables and C<1> enables this option, no argument
+toggles the setting.

 maps and archetypes) used to implement this version of the game.

+The unlock command is a quick and convenient way
+to unlock items in your inventory.
+If a object name is specified then only the
+objects that match that name are unlocked.
+e.g. unlock materials will unlock any materials
+in your inventory and not touch anything else.
+unlock by itself will unlock everything in your
+inventory.
 =head2 uptime
