I've made a flashlight, and I'd like to make it so that the main room description is presented when I turn it in the inventory.
Check my thread Portable Lightsource

You can do it all from the gui.
Give me a minute or 2
If you don't mind, go here: http://storytellersroom.chatango.com/
I made a chat room for anything related to the forum, and you don't even have to sign up. Just easier to talk.
Without being funny - I do mind.

what command are use using?
The default commands are
Switch/Turn on object or Switch/turn object on.
I am using the switch command. When the item is not in my inventory, it can be switched on and off, but as soon as I pick it up, those commands disappear.

Failing that, can you post your game file.
