    Ok heres the code for both yuor questions
    1)Make a new verb on $room or $thing or whatever named `describe' this.
    ok heres the code

    1:  lines = $command_utils:read_lines();
     2:  this.description = lines;
     3:  player:tell("Description set.");

    Ok Next one.  TO make the exits appear, you need to edit the
    $room:tell_exits
    Heres the code for that:

     1:  "displays obvious exits";
     2:  "-- TeknoTroll";
     3:  obexits_list = {};
     4:  for exit in (this:obvious_exits())
     5:    obexits_list = listappend(obexits_list, exit:deststring());
     6:  endfor
     7:  if (obexits_list != {})
     8:    player:tell("Obvious exits: " +
    $string_utils:english_list(obexits_list));
     9:  endif

    Ok thats it. If you have any more questions, just ask.
