Messages from TAKE ALL FROM BOX
Submitted by: David Porterfield     Appeared in: Library 6/10 or before     Fixed in: Library 6/11
Problem

Imagine a container which is closed or empty, like this:

  You can see a box (which is closed) here.

  >TAKE ALL FROM BOX
  You can't see any such thing.

  >REMOVE ALL FROM BOX
  You can't use multiple objects with that verb.

Both of those messages -- CANTSEE_PE and MULTI_PE -- are incorrect: you can see the box, and you can use ALL with REMOVE (indeed, the grammars for those lines are identical). What should be generated is probably NOTHING_PE. Also, consider this simple verb extension:

  Extend 'take'  * noun 'with' noun  -> TakeWith;

This causes the message for TAKE ALL FROM BOX to change to MULTI_PE.

Solution

None submitted.
