I like being informed (knowing is half the battle after all), but with the 'w'alk command, it gets a bit absurd. Maybe the output code should do a quick check if the incoming keystroke had a 'w' in it and just suppress the excess messages past the first one? Other option, condense it into a multiple, like "you walk to the east (x12)". I dimly remember the message buffer from ADOM doing just that.
