Notes

• To click a whole series of dialog items in one step, use click sequence.
• Use Player's balloon help to determine the ID number (if any) and location.
• By default, Player matches only the number of characters specified in the verb parameter. This feature has the benefit of ignoring trailing punctuation, but will occasionally find a false match.
• By default, name matching is not case sensitive.
