Subject: The Player var

Well, I'm attempting to code a generic elevator for my MOO, and I coded
  a verb to list the available destinations.  Unfortunately, I used several
  tell:player() s to display information.  The Verb is coded into the room,
  which is a $room.  Whenever I attempt to execute the verb, I get a 

  Traceback that states that the player variable is not found.  Any idea
  what the problem is?

this looks for the verb 'player' on the object 'tell'

you want to do it the other way around - player:tell()
