Touching something (past tense touched)

Touching is just that, touching something without applying pressure: a touch-sensitive screen or a living creature might react, but a standard push-button or lever will probably not.

In the Standard Rules there are no check touching rules, since touchability is already a requirement of the noun for the action anyway, and no carry out rules because nothing in the standard Inform world model reacts to a mere touch - though report rules do mean that attempts to touch other people provoke a special reply.
