It has been pointed out a few times that using the Infix feature
breaks commands like DUFFY, ANALYZE LADDER or TAKE SPELL BOOK. READ IT.
This is a library error or, rather, Infix breaks the
assumption that , and . are not dictionary words. In the
NextWord() function in Parserm.h, it says As far as I know, this is how the library has done it since pretty
much forever. Replacing these lines with something like this: should fix it, hopefully without introducing any new exciting bugs.
The local variable 'k' can be removed as well, as it is no longer
used.
