verbly and indirect question

Hello,

I have a general idea how the word 'open' works verbly now.

Could you please tell me if the adverb 'verbly' is correct as well as if the preposition 'about' requires immediately before 'how'?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

With best wishes.

Hello Mister Micawber,

I would like to thank you for resolving my problem. I meant the word 'verbally' which means 'as a verb' that you have pointed out in your clarification.

Thank you.

With best wishes.
