I did this:

Verb "skim"
 * noun "section" special  -> Skim;
Extend "read" replace
 * noun                    -> Examine
 * noun "section" special  -> Skim
 * "section" special "in" noun -> Skim;

WHy doesn't this work?  Check it out:

>read book section 2
You read and.. blah blah (it works, basically.. BUT)

>read section 2 in book
Dbug: Attempting to read object "compass" section 2
That's not a bound manuscript, silly.

What is going on?  Why is noun set to the compass object?
