Suppose Dan's grammar (but nobody else's) for the "examine''
7
verb is to be extended. His grammar routine should also contain:
9
if (verb_word == 'examine' or 'x')
10
{ verb_wordnum++; return -'danx,'; }
13
(Note the crudity of this: it looks at the actual verb word, so you
14
have to check any synonyms yourself.) The verb "danx,'' must be
17
Verb "danx," * "conscience" -> Inv;
20
and now "Dan, examine conscience'' will send him an <TT>Inv</TT> order:
21
but "Dan, examine cow pie'' will still send <TT>Examine cow_pie</TT> as usual.
