Most important ingame chat commands for EverQuest?

[SorenVC]

As a complete newbie who wants to play this game again, what are the most important chat commands?

I read that if you type in /corpse or something like that, you can pick up the items from your dead corpse from far away. What exactly do I have to type in?

What about whispering to another player. Is it /tell ? What do I have to type in? And what more is there to know in terms of chat commands? Make a list please to help new players like me.
