Actually the original idea that I posted has been perverted pretty far by
now, the command is simply designed to change ownership of an item from
the victim to the character (should ALWAYS be an immortal command). If
they are wearing it, strip it from them, take it from their inv, and place
it in the imm's.. and even possibly if it is in a container that they are
holding, remove it from that container and place it in the imm's
inventory. It's kinda like here's this item, OOPS wrong one gimma back
"chown item victim". What you are talking about now sounds neat and all,
but it's not close to my original intention anymore... I will post again
on this when I have a semi-working example of what I am doing.
