I'm a blacksmith, and so I run around buying cheap armours. Often, I
accumulate a long inventory list, so that the top of my inventory runs off the
screen.

It'd be nice if there was a 'head' command analogous to the 'grep' command. So
'head 3 i' would give the first three lines of the output of 'i'.
Thanks.

Ssmud made the kind suggestion that perhaps what I wanted could be
accomplished by:

command head lines $1;$-2;q;lines 20

Of course, "20" is just my screen height. Unfortunately, this doesn't work,
because the 'q' goes directly to the game, creating a typo message, and I
still have to type 'q'. I suppose I should just write it in my client.
