Oh dear. I seem to remember trying to do this back when I wrote that
water.zip thing. The problems you are having would probably be the
reason for the odd syntax I used "FILL <lake> FROM <source>" and "EMPTY
<container> IN/ON <object>". Bear in mind this was back before I was any
good with TADS, and I haven't tried anything like it lately, so let me
get back to you on it.
