&gt; While building in the new core, I noticed that exit announcements occur
&gt; at an odd time (IMHO).
&gt; 
&gt; For instance, if I am standing in a room and take the north exit, I will
&gt; see:
&gt; 
&gt;         New Room Name
&gt;         New Room Description.
&gt;         You take the north exit.
&gt; 
&gt; Isn't more logical (from a VR point of view) to see:
&gt; 
&gt;         You take the north exit.
&gt;         New Room Name
&gt;         New Room Description.
I've noticed the same thing, and agree. Is there a reason source and dest
announces can't be called bevore move_to (in $exit.invoke)? (they'd both have
to be moved, else the actor would see their messages twice, or none at all).
Brandon/someone..?
