I posted a few mins ago - but deleted it after I got some things to work.

Still finding exec errors though;

> hit it with boot
hit what?
> bottle
WOOOOO!

Would be quite good if there weren't two bottles in the room.

I simply do this:

	set numeric <t.badit.pos; $instr(#quest.originalcommand#;_it)$ >
	set string <t.badit.first; $left(#quest.originalcommand#;%t.badit.pos%)$ >
	inc <t.badit.pos; 3>
	set string <t.badit.second; >
	if ( %t.badit.pos% < $lengthof(#quest.originalcommand#)$ ) then _
		set string <t.badit.second; $mid(#quest.originalcommand#;%t.badit.pos%)$ >

	msg <#t.badit.first# what?>
	enter <t.badit.response>
	set string <t.badit.command; #t.badit.first# #t.badit.response# #t.badit.second#>
	exec <#t.badit.command#>
	debug <#t.badit.command#>

Debug shows the command to be "hit bottle with boot".

I guess the disambiguation /has/ to be done on the first interpretation of the command.

==EDIT==
A-HAAAAAAH!!!
.. it's all to do with the fact that the exec command can use the original names of objects..
changing the name has fixed this now.
Closing off this one.
