After applying this patch the content of NTN attribute will be shown next 
to the player's or object's name, if he has his NTN attribute set.
for example if Flame types &ntn me=(standing next the window) then any 
player enters the room or types look or look through a transparent exit 
will see 
Contenst:
Flame (standing next the window). So this is a great way to show players 
location inside a room.  if nothing in ntn attribute he will see
Contents:
Flame
There are alot of application for this idea. A player can show an action 
he is doing or an object he is carrying, like a weapon. i.e Player 
(weilding a phaser).  A wizard can @lock this attribute and do great things
or you can code it to a table to set the players NTN attribute to make it 
for example (sitting at the table)...Use your imagination :)
