I have found that if I add a verb to an object, then decide that I wish to amend it. IE I have made a mistake, or wish to add another option with a semicolon, the verb cannot be changed. Even if I delete it and re enter it, it still comes back as it was before, and this applies even if it is used with another object. I find this frustrating , as I have messed up a verb I need to use. I realise I could enter it as a command, but commands can get complicated if you not only have to enter all the verb options and the ob jet(which may have more than one name)they apply to

If you are editing on-line, there is nothing you can you. If you are off-line, you need to find the actual verb object, and edit that. It will be under the game object, in a section called Verbs.

Thanks Pixie. I will look into doing that.
