Properties
curIobj
Although we don’t have an indirect object in the conventional sense, we use the curIobj property to store the ResolvedTopic involved in the command.
curTopic
We also store the current ResolvedTopic in the curTopic property so it can be found by the gTopic macro.
topicIsGrammaticalIobj
Is the topic the grammatical Indirect object of this command? This is used by Redirector.doOtherAction() to encapsulate the appropriate string in a ResolvedTopic. The topic is the grammatical iobj if its the second object involved in the commamd, e.g. ASK BOB ABOUT FIRE, where FIRE is the topic.
Methods
execAction (cmd)OVERRIDDEN
no description available
resolvePronouns ( )
This is a bit of a kludge to deal with the fact that the Parser doesn’t seem able to resolve pronouns within ResolvedTopics. We do it here instead.
verify (obj, whichObj)OVERRIDDEN
Whichever object slot a verify routine is notionally trying to verify for given the grammatical form of the command, in practice only the direct object (the thing involved in the command) can be verified. E.g. for WRITE FOO ON BALL we treat BALL as the direct object of the command and FOO as the literal, even if the Parser thinks it needs to verify the Indirect Object to disambiguate BALL.
