rem - reworked by wolis - not that it helps much but check out the readall cmd;

get $target in $loc;
rem - change the $target instead of second and only get a target from the current location;

getname $target,plain; rem returns $this_name;
rem - use getname instead cos its nicer - $named to $target's name;

say 'nothing',"[$actor] is curious about $this_name";
rem - change $init_obj to $target and $named to $this_name;

say 'nothing',"$this_name obj_id = $target"; rem - again changed $named;

rem - I tried bouble-quotes and just the plain $var - neither work as hoped;

var $var to $target's info;
var $msg to "info = $var";
say 'nothing',"$msg";
