This is a pretty simple thing that is probably covered in the 
programmer's manual.  I'll answer it, but next time, RTFM.  (F 
stands for 'Friendly') :-)

1) Stick it on $player.

2) What is adjascent to the command is considered to be PART of the 
command.  Hence, if you use what I use for page: `` 'player Heya '', then 
the verb == "'player".  On the first line of the verb, simply do 
something like args = {verb[2..length(verb)], @args}.
