I want to make a command (for debugging) called "grab" that will
teleport an object to me.

Why is it that "gonear" can reference any object in the game, even way
out of scope, but my "grab" command can't?  I even did this, just for a
test:

Verb "grab"
 * noun    -> Gonear;

And it doesn't work.  How can I fix it so my 'grab' command can have an
infinite scope?
 thanks.
