look [at] <character>'s <body part>
look <direction>
look in <container>
look into <container>
look on <surface>
With no target, you look at the room. Aliases: l and ls.
On open ground, a direction tells you what lies that way: the ground, the line of it against the sky, and any place you can see. You turn to face it.
Look in a container to see what is inside, and look on a table or counter to see what rests on it.
To look at one part of someone, name them, then the part. A part is named as @naked lists it, such as face, left arm or right hand, or a group such as hands or eyes.
Example: look at Prismodal's left hand
Example: look at a rangy man's face

Inspect an object in detail, including what you can do with it.

panorama auto
On open ground, draws what lies ahead as a picture: the sky, the ground out to the horizon, roads, water, and any town or ruin in view, lit by the hour and the weather. It draws the way you face, which is the way you last walked or looked. Name a direction to draw that way.
panorama on adds the picture to every look on open ground, and panorama off stops that. The web client draws the picture in the room panel by itself. In the text client the picture is drawn in colour blocks where your client can show them and in plain characters where it cannot. panorama blocks and panorama plain choose for you, and panorama auto lets your client decide.
