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.

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.
the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!

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.
