Although this bug doesn't rank as too important, it always annoyed me. The
'enter' verb is actually used for a lot of actions (sitting, standing,
entering), but if you use one of these on a non-enterable object, you
always get the same response. In English.h go to the Enter:
condition in the LanguageLM procedure. Replace the line with this:

Problem
> STAND ON WALL
That's not something you can enter.
Solution
" not something you can enter.";
print " not something you can ";
if (verb_word == 'stand') "stand on.";
else if (verb_word == 'sit') "sit on.";
else if (verb_word == 'lie') "lie on.";
else "enter.";
