Important Features of COSRIN Often Overlooked by Newer Players
COSRIN is a complex fantasy world with a tremendous amount of options
available to the player.Because of this complexity, some of the more
useful commands/options can be overlooked.Below are some of the more
important features that newer players tend to overlook.
1. The RETREAT command (RE for short) can take a direction as a
parameter.Example: RE Swill retreat South. This saves a step
when trying to run away.

then return pressed) to retrieve the last command entered. You can then
use the cursor keys to edit the command and resubmit it by pressing
return again.

screen when players logon/logoff of COSRIN.

ADVANCE on an opponent. Missile weapons never need to advance
to be used and hidden characters get a free shot without requiring
them to advance.

to separate the commands. Example:
