  The new code already does this.

  You can search all you want, for example, and it doesn't change your 
range_skill.  Likewise, if you do any of the use_skill with the item 
identification ones.

  This was much more a problem in the old system, where it needed the range 
value to be set so it could properly award exp.

  What he was talking about was the skill itself. Eg, do a 'cast bless'.  Do a 
'invoke fireball'.  If you cycle through your ranges, the ready spell would be 
fireball, where you really want it to be bless.
