Issue L60704 "IT" handled suboptimally Submitted by: Gunther Schmidl     Appeared in: Library 6/7 or before     Fixed in: - Problem Are you, too annoyed that after >GET KNIFE. CUT ROPE WITH IT. 'it' is set to 'rope' when it should be 'knife' still? Solution Here's an easy fix. In Parserm.h, look for the lines saying if (parameters > 0 && results-->2 >= 2) PronounNotice(results-->2); and add if (pronoun_obj == NULL) before PronounNotice(...) Note: Graham Nelson has decided to keep the code as it is, writing in the release notes to library 6/10 that "I reluctantly disagreed with Gunther Schmidl about the ideal behaviour of 'it'." Or as Andrew Plotkin might say, "Yes, it's deliberate."
