I'd have to say the easiest way would be to do what you said, make
another copy oif look_at_room, and just call that at the return, or simply
add an argument to the look_at_room() function and make it be like 0 in
all cases, except where you hit return, and then make it 1 - operate
everyhing with the long desc on the IS_FLAGGED(PLR_BRIEF) or whatever..

Could use the xref thing jeremy has set up on the circle page
which shows you which functions call eachother..otherwise, a good way is
to make mainly cosmetic changes around in the code - grep for where it
says something like "you smash the orc with your hammer of death" and
figure out how it gets that. If you already know c, about a day of this,
and you can say you 'know' pretty well how circle works. The command
interpreter and the flags are a good place to start, IMHO.

You're right. I just didn't think about it - its a quick thing to
do with code, if you've had a bit of experience with it. Sorry to bite
your head off - i've been cranky after something with women went arwy.
You sound like you got it all though.
