Re: 2 quessies

Ok heres the code for both yuor questions
1)Make a new verb on $room or $thing or whatever named `describe' this.
ok heres the code

1:  lines = $command_utils:read_lines();
 2:  this.description = lines;
 3:  player:tell("Description set.");

Ok Next one.  TO make the exits appear, you need to edit the
$room:tell_exits
Heres the code for that:

 1:  "displays obvious exits";
 2:  "-- TeknoTroll";
 3:  obexits_list = {};
 4:  for exit in (this:obvious_exits())
 5:    obexits_list = listappend(obexits_list, exit:deststring());
 6:  endfor
 7:  if (obexits_list != {})
 8:    player:tell("Obvious exits: " +
$string_utils:english_list(obexits_list));
 9:  endif


Ok thats it. If you have any more questions, just ask.
