Yes, it did exactly that.  We should also come up with a set of allowable
commands a user can type in and a syntax for commands: i.e. <action>
<object-source> [<modifier> <object-destination>]
where:
 <action> is a verb a user can type in
 <object-source> is an object the user wants to apply the action to
 <modifier> is an optional preposition
 <object-destination> is an object the user wants to performa an action on
modified by the object-source

example:
 put gold in bag

A list of possible syntax combinations defined by what they are should be
generated.
