Ive gotten my game to compile(well, the few rooms Ive been coding on 
the game so far..much more to come ;) ) and have begun implementing the 
very first puzzle.  Problem is when I test it, the only verb that 
formats properly is the xyzzy one I defined myself.  Every other one 
produces something like this:

>examine quarter
BadOptionalNumBadOptionalNumBadOptionalNumBadOptionalNumBadOptionalNum
BadOptionalNumBadOptionalNumBadOptionalNumBadOptionalNumBadOptionalNum
BadOptionalNumBadOptionalNumIt's a shiny new quarter! You can retire 
now!

(Actually the quarter has a bunch of other problems, but I suspect those 
come from an improper use of the concealed property.  Im changing that, 
and as soon as I finsih up this next batch of rooms, etc and recompile 
Ill let you know.

Thanks
Chidder
