ah! I sure have experience of this since River (old basic-project). I
suppose this is for some trigger->event-system? I used a line by line file
system with some goto's. 'Walk W 5'? No good! A system like 'down [rows]' is
better. But this heavily depends on your game. And you want an interpreter?
Just take the line. Put it into a string. Cut it up where you find spaces
and put the parts into different strings. Then let a _big_ interpreter do
the last stuff and run the commands for you. I think that's all.

Hope it helps!
