5. put <thing> (<container> <specifier>) 5. put emerald sack small
6. put <thing> <n>.<container> 6. put emerald 2.box

USE:

  1. Use form one when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one emerald in your inventory, and only one box in sight.
  2. Use form two or three when more information is needed to interpret the command — that is, there's more than one possible item by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, you have a large emerald, a small emerald, etc. Note that you don't type the parentheses: they're there to show how the specifier will be interpreted.
  3. Use form two or three when more information is needed to interpret the command — that is, there's more than one possible item by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, you have a large emerald, a small emerald, etc. Note that you don't type the parentheses: they're there to show how the specifier will be interpreted.
  4. Use form four when there are many instances of <thing> in your inventory.
  5. Use form five when there are more than one available container which could be matched. In the example, you have a small sack and a large one, and you put an emerald into the small one. Note that you don't type the parentheses: they're there to show how the specifier will be interpreted.
  6. Use form six when many instances of <container> available.

Note that items must be in your inventory for you to put them inside a container. You can't put items from the room into a container, etc.

Put searches for <container> in a specific order, starting with the room you're in, then your inventory. So, if there's a box in the room, and a box in your inventory, the command "put emerald box" will cause you to put the emerald into the box in the room, not the one you're carrying. You'd need to use "put emerald 2.box" for the latter.

Not every item is necessarily putable. Also, you may be unable to put an item due to many possible constraints: the container you want to use could already be full, etc. As with all commands, the Game Channel will record the outcome of your action.

The Dungeon parser has limited NLP capability. You can successfully use "put the emerald in the box", for example.
