If I want to grab orange, then "get orange" will always grab orange rather than ora. Is there some way of making "get ora" always grab ora ahead of orange?

I've tried various characters that I thought might at as terminators, but haven't found a way to write ora, the whole ora and nothing but ora.

Oddly, I had never noticed it worked that way before. Unfortunately I don't think that it can be easily fixed, but I'll talk to a couple of people about it.

I've had similar issues with items. The easiest way to handle it is to CLOSE the container that has the orange in it... or start eating apples. ;)

It takes something along the lines of

get ora lockpick from my keyring
get orange lockpick from my keyring
put orange lockpick on my keyring
get second ora lockpick from my keyring

to cover the various possibilities. Its possible to workround, but its horrible for immersion.

Yet another good use for a "terminating" character; it'd be useful to have one that says, "This word is DONE."
