I'm having a problem with scope...  here is a situation:

You are carrying:
  an apple
  a steel box
    six apples

If you do "eat apple" or "examine apple", it will choose to refer to one
in the box.  WHY?  How can I make Inform refer to the one that is in the
player's hand rather than one that is in the box?
