COWbrowse

You are looking at a command called find

find {object}

Search cow for a specific object.

If there are more than one you will be told how many and presented with a list of each. Click on the one in particular to find it.

Here is an example of finding multiple things:
find the mouse

Here is an example of finding one unique object:
find the player called wolis

read the command called locate to players or named objects as a priority.

You only get the first 50 objects do dont get worried if you find exit and only see 50 of them.

read the command called list for other fun lists of objects in cow
