<p>The getting off action is for
actors who are currently on top of a supporter: perhaps standing on a platform,
but maybe only sitting on a chair or even lying down in bed. Unlike the similar
exiting action, getting off takes a noun: the platform, chair, bed or what
have you.<p><hr><p><b>Typed commands leading to this action</b><p>
