[Snip news that people really do use Alan on this group]

I have been looking at various IF languages, including Alan, and I have a
question for the Alan programmers on this newsgroup:

As nearly as I can tell from reading the manual, Alan does not support the
GEORGE, GET KEY syntax used in most of the other parsers to give commands
to NPCs. Is my impression correct, or not?

Lack of this particular feature is why I had reluctantly decided against
Alan for my own first IF project. I really liked everything else I saw in
Alan.
