A real, or 'floating-point' number: the difference between this and ordinary "number" is that real numbers can hold values like 3.141, which aren't whole numbers, and can also hold very large or very small quantities in an approximate way. (Use of real numbers is only allowed if we compile the source to Glulx rather than the Z-machine: see the Settings panel.)<br>

When made with the Glulx setting, an Inform project can make limited use of files stored on the computer which is operating the story at run-time. An external-file is just the name of one of these files (not the filename in the usual sense, but a name given to it in the Inform source text).<br>

An action is what happens when one of the people in the simulated world decides to do something. A full action would be something like 'dropping the box', but an action name is just the choice of which sort of thing is being done: here, it's 'the dropping action'. (Action names are always written with the word 'action' at the end, to make sure they aren't mistaken for full actions.)<br>

The empty list, with no items yet, is written { }, and a list with items in is written with commas dividing them - say {2, 5, 9}.<br>

A list of rules to follow, in sequence, to get something done. A rulebook is like a ring-binder, with the individual rules as sheets of paper. Inform normally sorts these into their 'natural' order, with the most specific rules first, but it's easy to shuffle the pages if you need to. When some task is carried out during play, Inform is normally working through a rulebook, turning the pages one by one.<br>

An activity is something which Inform does as part of the mechanics of play - for instance, printing the name of an object, which Inform often has to do. An activity can happen by itself ('printing the banner text', for instance) or can be applied to an object ('printing the name of something', say).<br>
