Sorry for all the questions, but I'm on the verge of a personal breakthrough 
(ie; getting this to work):

I had created 10 rooms, all of which descended from the standard room.

I then used one of them to test the conferencing system by adding 
properties, verbs, etc.

Now I wanted all these rooms to behave in the same way, so I @chparent'ed 
all of them to have the test room as their parent.

However, now when I use some of the property-changing verbs on the test 
room, the properties change on ALL the rooms. I thought that a child object 
was a whole new copy of the object, and had separate (altho identical) 
properties.
