Q:
How can I distinguish between all these similar objects?
A:
Certain classes of objects, for example brands (sticks) and keys, have lots of instantiations. If you DR KEY, you will drop all keys you're carrying. Although it's possible to DR A KEY if you just want to drop one of them, you have a problem if you want to let go of a particular one.Help is at hand with the IDENTIFY (or ID) command! It turns out that all objects do have unique names, it's just they're not usually shown. You may actually be holding key1, key4 and key52, and could therefore DR KEY4 if that's the one you didn't want. The ID command turns on the displaying of these identification numbers; UNID turns it off.
