Okey. I'll dive into the MudOS parser tomorrow then, and see if I
can't figure something out.

Which I also allow.

You mean hard-code from as a special word? Hmm. I guess I will have to 
do something like that, since I don't know anything about the rule
which was matched.

It might. It's not hard to understand my code with one big grammar
either, since it is built from all the verbs in my /cmds/verb/ dir. 

Thanks for your help. I haven't really found an answer to my problem,
but making 'from' a special case would be a workaround. Now I just
have to figure out all the special-case words I should add.  

As I see it, the only way to solve this properly is to split the
grammar, allowing me to get the sentence of the matched rule. Other
than that, one big grammar works fine.
