Terminology:

Use : Use the pointing hand
Look : Use the eye
Examine : Use the magnifying lens

Notes:
Talk to everyone ... this game uses a hypertext-like interface.
Always scan the 'conversation bubble' for words which may lead to
other questions than those displayed.

Watch the actions of other people. Usually their actions are
directly related to items which may be of some use.

Use the eye icon often. As you 'look' at items the icons bar will
indicate what further actions may be taken on the item.
