  I coded it so that if other_arch was set, and nothing was in the inventory, it 
should use other_arch.  There could of  course be a bug in that, but I thouught 
I tested that.

  That is odd.  They should only do that if something was somehow added to the 
inventory of the object, which I don't think there is any code to automatically 
do that.  I do agree that the editor should probably get updated to use the 
preferred method, which is to have it in the inventory.

  that is also odd.  Spells before were not really objects.  Now there were 
certain ability_... objects, which were basically spells.  I thought those only 
got updated.  However, as I think about it, it may be that I replaced them, and 
updated the treasure lists, so everything should be sane.  However, if there are 
monsters with spells specifically placed in their inventory, then that may not work.
