most people put a verb called "tell_exits" on $room, then edit :look_self
to tell you that.
So you'd put something like this:

player:tell(); /* blank line you wanted */
this:tell_exits();

And then :tell_exits would show you all the various exits (try using
this:obvious_exits() for a list of them)
These aren't necessarily "wizzy" things so that's why they aren't in the
FAQs.. anyone can make a room parent that does this.
