Shoulda asked in my last reply :P but anyways...
I'm not sure I get the command/action distinction as defined by Skotos.

As I previously stated, any object can potentially try to do a given command,
and for most cases will be able to, non-livings limited to souls & 'talking'
commands. And mobiles restricted from wiz-commands (that might change but
don't think it should be needed.)

Isn't the action(if we exclude wizard commands) primarily the message
displayed from a given command, or a movement of one object into another, ie:
   get/give/drop, move to another room, etc.

Or does skotos make some other distinction that I am missing?
