COWbrowse

You are in a command called rename

rename {object} to {text}

Changes the name of an object.

This is an objects basic name eg rename the cat to dog.

You can not change its quantity or anything else during this process so you can not rename the cat to some apples. read the command called more f you want to change quantities of objects.

read the book of counting for more info on quantities of objects.

CowScript notes:

The objects name is actually its 'class' as in you can have a 'cat' and a 'cat called Frank'. In this example 'Frank' is the 'name' of he object of class 'cat'

When thre are multiple of the class of object the content of the 'pclass' attribue is shown eg 'cats' and the cowscript statement:
fixplural $object; will take the class name and work out what the plural name (pclass) should be, and set it for you.

Renaming an object sends out the 'change' trigger word.
