I'm trying to avoid the use of object numbers, which are assigned
unpredictably by the server.  If a objnamed function were possible then
maybe 

    @go objnamed("Train Station Steps")

would do it?  In any case only one room would be created this way.

One of the questions I was trying to ask is `how do I create user
defined functions?  Is it even possible?'  I can't seem to find it in
the docs anywhere.

I just looked to see if there is anything called code or @code (in the
LambdaCore DB)-- nope.  Assume I am a rank newbie, how can I define a
function?
