Beginner question alert!

I've just started using Quest and have a situation where I want to give a character something in my inventory and in return get another object back from them. I've had a look through the FAQs but couldn't find anything - I could just be being dumb though!

Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me a hand?

here's some helpful links, if you don't already know about them:

http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/upgrade_notes.html
// due to so many Tab cluttering up the GUI~Editor, they're now toggle'able (hidden until you toggle them on, which then reveals them)

http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/guides/
(note: you can scroll down to a bottom section, easy to miss it)


use the 'use~give' Tab (you got to toggle the Tab on first by going to the 'Features' Tab of the Object you want to use), and here's the tutorial on using the use-give Tab:
