Hi,

I want to change the wording of "look at" to be "examine". How can I do this? I don't want to disable generation of the default table, I just want to edit it.

What do you mean when you say you 'don't want to disable generation of the default table' ?

You mean the Display Verbs? (The list/buttons that show up when the player clicks an object hyperlink or highlights the object in one of the sidebar lists.) It shows "Look at" and "Take" for everything by default (or "Look at" and "Use" and "Drop" when it's in the player's inventory), and I couldn't figure out how to change that default. If there's a way to change it, I would like to know so I can make "Take" stop showing up on my gazillions of non-takeable objects.

Of course, you can change the list in the Object tab of each object. It's just kind of a hassle if you have many objects that need that change. (One thing that might make it easier is to create an object, change its list, then copy that object to create any additional objects.)

If you're talking about the stuff the player types in, these options all do the same thing:
look at apple
examine apple
look apple
x apple

Most users probably type x.
