    Bits are -never- inherited.  Property values are, via clear properties,
    but bits never are.

    > It says in the prog manual that it should..

    Actually, the Programmer's Manual says specifically what newly-created
    objects' bits will be set to (see the documentation on create() in the
    section "Fundamental Operations" in the section "Manipulating Objects").
    None of the bits are inherited.

    Lord, I hope not.  Children of wizard objects shouldn't be wizardly
    (necessarily) and children of fertile objects shouldn't automatically be
    fertile.

    Rabbits on walls, no problem.    a tear of true repentance.
