+! Building a home  
+ 
+Your home is where your character goes when you disconnect. You can also teleport home with the @home command. When your character is first created, your home is the lobby. If you don't want to sleep in public you will have to find a new home. Here's how.  
+ 
+First find a place to dig a new room. There are plenty of empty floors accessible from the elevator which is east and north of the lobby. Pick a random floor (currently 2-69 should work). I picked 56 for this example:  
+ 
+<verbatim>  
+You get off on the 56th floor  
+You enter the room.  
+56th floor  
+You see nothing special.  
+</verbatim>  
+ 
+If you type "help @dig" you will see this:  
+ 
+<verbatim>  
+topic: @dig  
+Syntax: @dig <n|s|e|w|ne|se|nw|sw|u|d> to <room>  
+ 
+ 
+ 
+This command is a very handy shortcut for "digging" a series of rooms.  
+You supply the direction from the current room to the new room, and  
+either the name of a new room to create, or a reference to an existing  
+room. This function then creates the new room (if needed), an exit  
+from your current room to the new one, and a reciprocal exit from the  
+new room back to the one you're in. Each exit is given a full name  
+and the standard one- or two-letter alias, and all objects are placed  
+in the proper location. This is the recommended method for adding  
+rooms to a MOOP database.  
+ 
+Examples:  
+ 
+ @dig n to Balcony  
+ @dig sw to #57  
+</verbatim>  
+ 
+From here if you go north you will go back to the elevator, so it makes sense to dig east or west to a room.  
+ 
+ 
+<verbatim>  
+>@dig e to 5601  
+CreditError in line 25 of <dig> : 100 credits needed for object creation.  
+</verbatim>  
+ 
+Oops! No credits. We will have to bum some off of someone else:  
+ 
+<verbatim>  
+>@page Lucifer with Hey, gimme some cash!  
+Message sent.  
+Lucifer gives you 1000 credits.  
+</verbatim>  
+ 
+Cool, now we can try again:  
+ 
+<verbatim>  
+>@dig e to 5601  
+5601 created as object #422 and moved to #12 (Universe)  
+Exit east created in 56th floor as object #423  
+Exit west created in 5601 as object #424  
+</verbatim>  
+ 
+<verbatim>  
+>e  
+You go east.  
+You enter the room.  
+5601  
+You see nothing special.  
+</verbatim>  
+ 
+ 
+ 
+----  
+ 
+! userlist  
+ 
 I added a new command: "userlist". It is like "who" but gives information on all users, not just the ones logged in at the time. 
  
 <verbatim> 
 userlist
