I have just uploaded a small TADS library to the if-archive (it will
probably end up at if-archive/programming/tads/library or tads/examples).
This library enables one to create an adventure which uses a hybrid of the
standard commands and menu-based commands, to allow more complicated tasks
without guess-the-verb-and-syntax type problems. Basically, you attach a
menu object to a room, and the menu will be printed at the command prompt.
The player can then enter either a regular command (e.g. TAKE BOOK) or one
of the menu items, and the game will respond appropriately.

I would like to thank Mark J. Musante for providing the original CYOA_lib
library, from which I stole a couple of functions and the choiceVerb.
