What he means is to modify do_get and other related functions and model
the QP token after the code used to get GOLD items.
Look at objects such as "a heap of gold coins" (#6007), etc. When you take
them, you don't get the item, you get the amount of gold specified in the
object file. If you create a new object type (a QP token) and handle it
in the code in a way similar to the code that gets gold items and "turns
them into coins", you can implement QP tokens.
