This page will most likely be the basis for the man page for OpenDispense2, so I've included all the usual stuff -- BobAdamson

Description

• The dispense command provides access to the UCC's coke machine and other systems. It can be used to drop a drink, open the door, or pay for other items. If called with no arguments, dispense displays an interactive list of avaliable items. This list can be navigated using the arrow keys, enter/return (for select) and q/ESC to quit. If the first argument is not a recognised command (see below) then dispense attempts to interpret the argument as an item name, and if it matches, dispenses the item.
