     517& %a 
    517518  aposs(<object>) 
    518519 
    519520  Returns the absolute possessive pronoun - his/hers/its/theirs - 
    520   for an object. 
     521  for an object. The %a substitution returns the absolute possessive 
     522  pronoun of the enactor.

    29482951 
    2949   Returns the objective pronoun - him/her/it - for an object. 
     2952  Returns the objective pronoun - him/her/it - for an object. The %o 
     2953  substitution will return the objective pronoun of the enactor. 
    29502954& OBJEVAL() 
    29512955  objeval(<object>, <expression>) 
    …… 
    31553159

     3161& %p 
    31573162  poss(<object>) 
    31583163 
    3159   Returns the possessive pronoun - his/her/its - for an object. 
     3164  Returns the possessive pronoun - his/her/its - for an object. The %p 
     3165  substitution also returns the possessive pronoun of the enactor. 
    31603166& POWER() 
    31613167  power(<number>, <exponent>) 
    …… 
    42244230  Sub() subtracts the second number from the first. 
    42254231& SUBJ() 
     4232& %s 
    42264233  subj(<object>) 
    42274234 
    4228   Returns the subjective pronoun - he/she/it - for an object. 
     4235  Returns the subjective pronoun - he/she/it - for an object. You can also 
     4236  use the %s substitution to get the subjective pronoun of the enactor. 
    42294237& RESWITCH() 
    42304238& RESWITCHI()

    47464754& V()

     4756  v(<name of attribute>) 
     4757  v(<variable name>) 
    47504758 
    47514759  The first form of this function works just like get(me/<attribute name>). 
    …… 
    47544762 
    47554763  The second form of this function provides a different way of getting the 
    4756   results of %-substitutions like %#, %N, %0, etc. Simply take the variable 
    4757   name (whatever follows the % symbol) and put it inside the v() function: 
     4764  results of some %-substitutions like %#. Simply take the variable name 
     4765  (whatever follows the % symbol) and put it inside the v() function: 
    47584766 
    47594767       v(N) is equivalent to %N 
    47604768       v(!) is equivalent to %! 
    47614769       v(3) is equivalent to %3 
     4770        
     4771  This can only be used for %#, %!, %@, %0-%9, %L, %N and %C. Unlike the 
     4772  %-substitutions, case does not matter in v() - v(n) and v(N) are both 
     4773  equivilent to %n (whereas %N is equivilent to [capstr(%n)]).

    16241624     %~ = the ENACTOR's accented name 
    16251625     %: = the enactor's unique identifier, like objid(%#) 
     1626      
     1627  Case makes a difference in all substitutions; capitalizing the first letter 
     1628  after the % will capitalize the first letter of the resulting substitution.

    …… 
    16301633  If the ENACTOR's gender is set, you can use these substitutions to get the 
    16311634  right pronoun for him/her: 
    1632      %s = subjective pronoun: he, she, it, they 
    1633      %o = objective pronoun: him, her, it, them 
    1634      %p = possessive pronoun: his, her, its, their 
    1635      %a = absolute possessive: his, hers, its, theirs. 
     1635     %s = subjective pronoun: he, she, it, they. Same as subj(%#) 
     1636     %o = objective pronoun: him, her, it, them. Same as obj(%#) 
     1637     %p = possessive pronoun: his, her, its, their. Same as poss(%#).

    16361639 
    16371640    Case makes a difference: %S will return He, She, It, They. If you need 
    ……

    16501653          something like a U-FUNCTION is called. 
    1651      %! = the dbref number of the object the command is on. 
    1652      %L = the dbref of the ENACTOR's location. 
    1653      %c = text of the last command, _before_ evaluation. 
    1654      %u = text of the last $command, after evaluation, available to locks. 
    1655      %? = The current function invocation and depth counts. 
     1654     %! = the dbref number of the object the command is on (the EXECUTOR) 
     1655     %L = the dbref of the ENACTOR's location 
     1656     %c = text of the last command, _before_ evaluation 
     1657     %u = text of the last $command, after evaluation, available to locks 
     1658     %? = The current function invocation and depth counts 
    16561659     %+ = The number of arguments passed to the current ufun.
