                                Command : SHOW

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: show <OBJECT_TYPE> [build|capabilities|NUKETYPE]

The show command can be used to find out about construction, capabilities, and
other  interesting properties for a variety of things.  Since this information
is gleaned directly from the current Empire data structures, it is  guaranteed
to be accurate.

Info can be obtained about bridges, planes,  ships,  tanks,  balloons,  spies,
nukes  (including  blast  damage  charts),  commodities,  products, and sector
types.  To get information on a particular topic type:

   [##:##] Command: show <object-type>

If the object type is an aircraft, ship, nuke or vehicle, a further  parameter
is  required  to  indicate  whether you wish information about construction or
capabilities.  So, for example:

                                Command : SHOW

   [##:##] Command: show nuke capabilities

will give something like

                                Command : SHOW

   PREDICTING DAMAGE CAUSED BY NUCLEAR DEVICES

   If you have a particular target in mind before you build a nuclear  device,
   you  can  use  `show blast <devicetype>' to help you determine what type of
   device you should build.  The command will chart for both ground  and  air-
   bursts the amount of damage that will be done at various distances from the
   blast point.
