Description:	Attempts to read, by ordinary means, the item, door, journal, or any other entity specified. For scrolls, you may specify a particular spell to read off of the scroll, thus invoking it. For scrolls with only one spell, you do not need to specify the spell name. Scroll require that the "Read Magic" spell be cast on them before they may be invoked. For journals (note areas), you can either not specify a message number to list all messages, or specify the message number as the second parameter in order to read a particular message. You can also specify the all flag to see older listings, or the new flag to only see new activity entries.
