        I'd think I'd like this code to be a little more flexible.  Instead of looking

      for 'special', I'd rather that it does something more generic to see if there is

        Or alternatively, have it just look for the stylename as set, and if it

      doesn't find it, then have it fall back to looking for hdoor/vdoor paths.
     
     
 if(vdoors=find_style("/styles/doorstyles",doorstyle,-1))
	hdoors=vdoors;
 else{
  	vdoors = find_style("/styles/doorstyles/vdoors",doorstyle,-1);
 	if(!vdoors) return; 
	sprintf(doorpath,"/styles/doorstyles/hdoors%s",strrchr(vdoors->path,'/'));
  	hdoors = find_style(doorpath,0,-1);
 }

- is this good then?  Actually this is simpler yes and I see no need to
have it pick a random style from the special folder (why I did it the
other way first) as I can make a style map with all the different
special types on it.

        Looking at the code, it appears it basically just copies the object from the

        Thus, you can disable traps by setting 'randomitems NONE' in that object.

oops silly me. I was wondering why the rocks had traps when obviously
there were no randomitems in the mountain3 arch... but I'm not using the
mountain3 arch - I'm using the door arch.... Doh.
