    >Okie... have you tried move(object, newlocation);
    >(I think the space might be important)...

    Whitespace, which includes spaces, tabs, and line breaks are ignored by the
     server when parsing code.  They are special within strings tho.

    Hence, each pair is equlivent:

    1. player:tell   ("yo"     )     ;
    2. player:tell("yo");

    1. move(obj,obj);
    2. move(               obj  ,  obj) ;

    However, since whitespace is signigicant in strings, these pairs are _not_ the
     same:

    1. "LambdaMOO"
    2. "Lambda MOO"

    1. player:tell("Hello            <= this will, in fact, get you a parse error
       good bye");
    2. player:tell("Hello good bye");

    FYI
