# Server Modification Suggestion

    After browsing the server code, one can see that #0:do_command() (if it
    exists) is actually called _before_ the command line verb.

    I'd really like a verb (say #0:do_after_command()) that would be called
    _after_ the command line verb.  This should be easy; just put in another
    run_server_task() call in do_command_task() in tasks.c, after the command
    is actually executed.

    i.e.:

    >From tasks.c:

    ... [from do_command_task()] ...

    	    if (run_server_task(pi.player, SYSTEM_OBJECT, "do_command", args,
    				command, &result) != OUTCOME_DONE
    		|| is_true(result)) {

    ==> So we call #0:do_command() first, and unless it dies or returns a
        true value ...

    	/* Do nothing more; we assume :do_command handled it. */
    	    } else if (p) {
    		current_task_id = new_task_id();
    		do_input_task(p, &pi, 0);

    ==> ... we go ahead and do the task ...

    	    } else
    		notify(pi.player, "I couldn't understand that.");

    ==> ... or cry ignorance.

    ...

    ==> And here, I would like to put in a second
    run_server_task(..."do_after_command"...).

    In my case, this would allow me to be able to spit out an list of verbs
    available in the player's location, _after_ the output of an issued
    command.  Anyone see any problems with this?  Pavel, any chance of getting
    this into the 1.7.9 release?
