Inform: 'NotUnderstood'


Sun, 26 Nov 1995 20:24:33 -0500 (EST)

I'm not so sure I like the 'NotUnderstood' implementation. It is a
major pain now because I have to do things like:

orders [;
....
NotUnderstood: jump anslabel;
...
],
life [;
Answer: .anslabel;
<stuff>...
],

This is because if I say "Frank, hello", it is registered as a
NotUnderstood order. But I want him to say hi back. However, if I type
"say hello to frank", it is registered as an 'Answer'. This is
confusing and leads to cluttered code. In my opinion, it was much more
practical the old way: any not-understood things just went under
'Answer'. Is there any way to handle this? I couldn't even figure out
how to change the library to remove NotUnderstood and make it call
'life' with action=##Answer. Anyone have an easy solution to this?
