Making sounds like windchimes as he de-cloaks(de-lurks?) for a
moment:

Greetings and salutations.  I have been following this thread and
spoke with my friend Shadow_RAM on BayMOO (who isn't subscribed
to this list) who has some @follow-ing-type code on a couple of
different types of objects he created there and this is his
response.

while (this.following)
 if (this.location != this.followed_person)
  fork(0)
   this:moveto(this.followed_person.location);
  endfork;
 endif endwhile;

The .following is gonna be 1 or 0 to kill the task. 
.followed_person is the player to follow.  The fork just saves
you from buggy moves.  I don't think you can get much simpler,
just put this in a verb on the player.
