Yeah, I have a similar problem , with a bulletin board.  I have
a routine that will print out whats on the board. I put this routine
in the description property and it works fine; expect it prints out
whats on the board _every time the rooms described_. I dont want it to 
do that! I just
want it to print out whats on the board when the board is examined-
or if it _must_ print out whats on the board every time the rooms is
described that it only do so after the board has vbeen examined once.
 I tried moving the routine to the before section, and trapping Examine,
but that was a dismal failure.. =(.
