My session output:

notbenh.info: do things by typing (if you get lost ask for "help")

why? ActionSet instance does not know how to why? inventory ActionSet instance does not know how to inventory xyzzy ActionSet instance does not know how to xyzzy look ActionSet instance does not know how to look help for more help with any of these actions, just ask for help action for even more information. here are a all the known actions: ...list of commands here...

OK, so yeah, I took the text adventure UI a little too seriously.

Regardless, it might be helpful if the "ActionSet instance does not know how to $foo" message directed people where to get the list of actions:

ActionSet instance does not know how to $foo. Please type 'help' for a list of commands.
