NAME
  [0] object -- survey objects the user owns

SYNOPSIS
         object [#objnum]

DESCRIPTION
  This command allows users to survey objects in their possession.
Objects differ from ships in that (generally) they cannot go anywhere,
and each performs a specialized function.  Some low-tech object types
are:

	Space Mirror -- A large, delicate, reflective field of metal
		which can be aimed at a specific object.  When aimed at a 
		planet, the mirror raises its ambient 
		temperature according to the focus applied.  When aimed
		at a ship, the ship will take a certain amount of damage
		each turn.  When aimed at a star, the star may become
		more unstable.

	Canister of dust -- When constructed and launched into the atmosphere
		of a planet, the canister will explode, causing dust to 
		prevent solar rays from reaching the planet and thus lowering
		its ambient temperature.  This may be used for terraforming
		purposes.

	Atmosphere processor -- A machine that can alter the atmosphere
		of a planet to better suit its owner.  These machines
		work slowly, and require fuel to operate.



  Orders for certain objects (e.g. destination for the space mirror) can
be changed with the ``order'' command.

  Additional information on ships or objects can be obtained with the 
``examine'' command.
