    Point taken, my mistake so here it is rephrased.

    The prog manual states that when you create an object its flags are set to
    that of its parent.. on a MOO I'm working on it does not.
    For example,
    Flags of #1:  r f
    @create #1 called test  => #100
    Flags of #100:  <blank, zip>

    why? I ain't seen anything explaining this, judging by the earlier response
    it is probably a seting somewhere.. so any help would be appriciated.

    -Chris.
