Is it possible to create a css button with a border instead of hyperlinks for commands, verbs and exits?

You mean something like this?

You can probably do this by setting the CSS for .cmdlink to something like background-color: silver; border: 2px outset; padding: 1px 4px; color: black; display: inline-block;. Just decide what you want the button to look like.

Yes, this is exactly what I meant! Thank you so much. I am so new to all this that I don't know what elements to edit to change certain things.

I've tried it and it works. Great!
