Water behaves a bit oddly

[eriktorbjorn]

>FILL BOTTLE WITH WATER
The water slips through your fingers.

>PUT WATER IN BOTTLE
The water slips through your fingers.

>FILL BOTTLE
The bottle is now full of water.

I bring up the first two because there are comments in WATER-F that suggest that they should work.

>EXAMINE BOTTLE
The glass bottle contains:
  A quantity of water

>PUT WATER IN BOAT
There is now a puddle of water in the boat.

>EXAMINE BOTTLE
The glass bottle is empty.

>FILL BOTTLE
The bottle is closed.

Actually, WATER-F is one of the parts of Zork I that I have given up on understanding. At least for now.

WATER-F is insane. I decompiled the game to Inform 6 using Reform and I am in the process of finishing up my C# port of the game. I've had to tweak this function a million time but I think I have it. Haven't made it all the way through your list, but there is also a discrepancy with V-SHAKE in that it does not consider WATER-F at all so it behaves differently with the glass bottle.
