This is great. I have only one question... I see no fix for my
earlier reported bug and now I'm begining to think that maybe it
isn't a bug but rather an intentional design feature. Room triggers
set using redit don't show up instantly or after a zreset, but
instead require a reboot of the MUD. Yet "attach wtr..." seems to be
working fine immediately. Was there a specific reason to wait for a
reboot to attach? I can easily provide a patch that fixes this but I
thought maybe it was a bad idea for some reason I can't fathom.

I'm also seeing what I suspect is an actual bug where attaching a
room trigger via zedit commands appears broken...

   zedit -> n -> 0 -> t -> 2 -> 4 -> q -> y -> zedit

...and the command list shows empty again. Or am I possibly not
using it correctly?
