do_show for mortals [by Xual]

This command is used to show the extra description of an object to another
player, if one exists with the same name as the object.  I thought that it 
was more important as a player command, so I renamed all occurences of the
wiz command "show" to "gshow".  I'll leave the interpreter.c stuff up to
you, adding commands is pretty well documented elsewhere.  If you decide to
use this code, all I ask is that you send me an email to let me know what
you think.
