Take a look at the CanReceive function.
Do you see the line ::CanReceive(ob)?
The :: refers to 'the file I've inherited from'.
So, we are calling (using) the function CanReceive() as it is
written in exroom2.c
THEN we are doing our own thing.
When an object enters this room (player or bowl or sword etc)
it becomes the variable 'ob'.
We pass that variable 'ob' along to the function CanReceive()
that's in exroom2.c
Then we check to see if ob is a player or creator. (type: man userp)
If so, we give that object a message.

/* See the way I did the SetItems again for 'more'. This is one
way to do it. Another way to do it is to use a (: functional :)
like I did for the lever. Take a look, however, at this comment
that you are reading. If you'll notice, I've done it a little
differently to show you a way to comment out several lines all
at once. The original method that I used was to put // in front
of the line that I wanted to comment out. If you have several
lines like we have here, then you'll want to begin your comment
like you see here and end it like below. This is how I will
be doing large comments in future examples.
