This is messy. Since you're only proceeding if we're using "beamup" or
"beamdown", we can clean this code up quickly. Also, be careful with your
logical ands and ors. You want, "if the command isn't beamup and it isn't
beamdown," not what you have.
(Oh, and minor point of no real significance: there's no apostrophe in the
possessive form of it in order to distinguish it from the contraction it
is [so it's "its functions"]).
if (!CMD_IS("beamup") && !CMD_IS("beamdown"))
return 0;
if (!GET_EQ(ch, WEAR_COMM)) {
send_to_char("You must be using a communicator badge to use any of"
"its functions.\r\n", ch);
return 1;
}

If you have any more problems, just keep sending them along.
