(   Usage:  To claim a room in the hotel:          claim <exitname>      )
(           To change your directory listing:      setdir <exitname>     )

( The claim/allowed prop must be set on the room to allow the program to )
( set the directory up correctly. Its contents should be space-separated )
( names of the exits that tenants are allowed to create in the order you )
( want them to appear on the directory.  You may use letters in the exit )
( names as well as numbers, but the names must be only one word, with no )
( spaces.  8/31/95:  You can use exitnames like <R>oom;r;room now; these )
( will show up on the directory as just the first name, but the new exit )
( will be created with the full listed name.  Players can only claim the )
( exit using its FIRST name [i.e., 'claim <R>oom', not 'claim r'].       )

( it will allow you to make a fake directory object--using only one exit )

( Added ability to name the new room using pronouns referring to the fur )
( who claims the exit.  [Parsing claim/newroom through pronoun_sub] Also )
