I have no problems with two-word parsers, provided I know that's what
I'm using, but I *really*, *really* miss using "x" for examine and
"l" for look and all of those other newfangled abbreviations.
(Disclaimer:  I only played Sangraal, and that for a short time.
It is possible I missed something, or that the other games might have
these, but I rather doubt it.)

Pretty please, Graham, with four kinds of fluff on it?
