Changes the parent of the named object to be the named parent. The object acquires all the verb and property definitions of its parent. Newly acquired properties are initilialized with `clear' values so that they inherit whatever values are currently assigned to the parent's corresponding properties (see "help @clearproperty").
If the player does not own <new parent>, it must have been set `fertile'. <object> must be owned by the player. Neither <object> nor any descendant can define any property which already exist on <new parent>. Use @check-chparent (see "help @check-chparent") to list such property conflicts.
It is also sometimes the case that you will own some object and want to @chparent some child of that object that you do not own. Use @disinherit (see "help @disinherit") in such situations.
