Yeah. I know that particular one because I have l aliased to ls -CF
(aka --columns --classify), mainly because it came that way as a
commented-out entry in my first Debian. Have since become quite
accustomed to it; to me, 'l' means 'look' (I do love my MUDs), so I'm
considering aliasing 'gl' to 'pwd' so that I can 'glance' too :)

Hmm. What other MUD commands have obvious Unix equivalents?

say --> echo
emote --> python -c
attack --> sudo rm -f
