    most people put a verb called "tell_exits" on $room, then edit :look_self
    to tell you that.
    So you'd put something like this:

    player:tell(); /* blank line you wanted */
    this:tell_exits();

    And then :tell_exits would show you all the various exits (try using
    this:obvious_exits() for a list of them)
    These aren't necessarily "wizzy" things so that's why they aren't in the
    FAQs.. anyone can make a room parent that does this.
