Showing help on '@eject!'
Syntax: @eject[!] <object> [from <place>]This command is used to remove unwanted objects from places you own. Players thus removed are unceremoniously dumped in their homes (unless that's this room, in which case they are dumped in the default player starting place). Other kinds of objects are checked for a .home property and sent there if possible, otherwise they get thrown into #-1. Unlike @move, @eject does *not* check to see if the object wants to be moved, and with the destination being what it is, there is no question of the destination refusing the move, either. Generally, you should only resort to @eject if @move doesn't work.
`@eject <object>' removes <object> from the current room, whereas `@eject <object> from <place>' removes the object from the specified location (in most cases, <place> will need to be specified as an object number). In either case, this command only works if you own the room/entity from which the object is being ejected.
`@eject ... from me' suffices to get rid of some unwanted object in your inventory.
The verbs @eject! and @eject!! are provided for those rare situations in which @eject does not work. @eject! does not check for .home properties, sending the offending object to #-1 immediately, but with a notification. @eject!! is just like @eject! but provides no notification to the object.
See 'help room-messages' for a list of messages one can set regarding the @eject command.
