Code: Select all

>read map
You can't do that with the map.

>look at it
(assuming you mean the newspaper)
You don't see that.

>look at map
This map shows what you assume to be the other train statons. Pressing a button of a location from a menu at the bottom makes it light 
up on the map. It looks like it's been here for ages.

Amazing that this is a dead form of entertainment.

Pinback, don't be that way. Why ya gotta be that way?

If I remember right, an object needs to have readable set, and you then need to give it a DoRead verb.

That was not his question. His question was not how to make "read" work. The answer to why this is a dead form of entertainment is that Robb Sherwin failed to correctly interpret developers' questions.

What he is asking is: Why does it think "it" is the newspaper, rather than the last noun he was talking about, the map.

Huh okay. Yeah it was getting pretty late for me when I posted this. I think I have "readable" set, but forgot to give it a DoRead. Probably. I will make sure tonight! Thanks, icj.
