hmm again i heard of a poor soul who entered a deathtrap
and who lost all his stuff ...
when i asked him how that happened, he told me that
he was wandering in an unknown area.
'Yes', i said, 'then you should be more careful and
check the exits often', and he boggled me, 'Hahaha :(',
thats what i did and thats why i entered the DT.'
So what happened ?
He wanted to type EX but he missed the X ...
don't know if he has just forgotten the X or if his
keyboard is damaged or if he didnt press the key hard
enough ...
The fact is: our nice command 'exits' which should
help us to avoid entering Deathtraps, can be
dangerous and kill us ...
What can we do ?
We players can be more careful to avoid missing the
X in case we are standing west of a DT...
But i am thinking of another idea... why can't we
get the 'EXITS' - command transformed
to a 'CHECK'-command ?
sure the coders would have some work, but i think
thats worth it ... okay we all would have to relearn
err ... sorry not relearn ... to learn a new
key-combination to check exits ... but hey
i would like that more than typing EX and forgetting
the X west of a Deathtrap ...........
hmm ok, this is just my lowly opinion, what do you think?

If it worries you, type "exits" not "ex".

Or if you have aliases you could make an alias that doesn't use
any directional letter eg. /x
That would save typing the whole thing.

Heck, the 1 on the keypad was unused to I assigned 'exits' to it
longer ago than I care to remember. I guess I could still hit the
wrong button on the keypad, but you might want to consider that as
well.

"xits" (or just "x") should work as exits does now next code update.
