Well, I learned a whole mess of things from these responses, and the last one for sure. I don’t know what it is about the documentation supplied with the program, but it just doesn’t work for me… I think it’s because it is fragmented into lots of bits, and doesn’t show the context as well as the example you gave above for how things fit together. Not meaning to insult anyone who worked on that documentation! I couldn’t write documentation to save my life…
One of the top stickied threads in this forum is the list of alternate documentation:
For beginning, I’d try Jim Aikin’s musicwords.net/if/i7hb.htm
Also Aaron Reed’s book is not free, but he has written a very thorough and comprehensive guide on Inform 7 that teaches you by taking you through the creation of an entire game. inform7.textories.com/
