On the Amstrad version the sights are a broken "X". SIGHTS ON is recognised before SIGHTS OFF as you guessed.

| Jul 31, 2016 at 20:40 | comment | added | Laurel | @CJDennis I had no clue that you could search on the map! (On a side note, how do I know if sights are on or off?) | |

Thanks for that! I tried QQUIP and you are correct, it is not recognised. So then I tried QUIP and it quit the game! However, replacing the first letter with anything other than a Q still executes the EQUIP command. I've also discovered that the MAP has the same functionality: you can search for any location even if you misspell it slightly.
