      This is due to the fact that runes and other squares are walk_on 1.

      some weirdness, such as:
     
     
  Not sure if walk/fly on not working when using an exit is desired or not.

  For some exits, it is sort of clear that the character would be walking or 
flying to the destination (eg, stairs).  Things let teleporters may not 
literally get walked on.

  I notice the code explicitly calls insert_ob_in_map () with the no walk on 
parameter.

  As I think about this, this may be to prevent infinite 'hopping' back and 
forth between exits.

  EG, I use an invis exit.  That exit puts me on top of another invis exit.  If 
the walk_on check was done, that invis exit would bounce me back to the 
original, and so on.  Not a good thing.

  I'm not too concerned with these issues.  If that rune trapped square in that 
second case has something important on it the player isn't supposed to get 
without triggering the rune, the rune could have fly_on 1 set.

  Dealing with the issues of players mucking with small buttons isn't a very big 
deal IMO either.  A player can just as easily always keep the button depressed 
by dropping some items on it.

  I suppose it is a bit od.  I suppose it may be possible to do a walk_off/fly 
on check when player puts on boots.  However, this could result in extra damage 
for the character if there is some bad effect on it that only happens when you 
enter, not when you stand still.
