  Certainly, a new field would need to be added.  However, if you want to be 
able to add a list of weapons, it seems the treasurelist is the way to go.

  Since .trs files can be sprinkled throughout the arch tree, this isn't as much 
an issue where it was before.

  The problem with adding a new field (inv_arch or something) is that it will 
won't fix the problem - the real problem is that a lot of the code does 
something like:

   tmp=arch_to_object(op->other_arch);

  Which wouldn't necessarily create the inventory (if it should, we could just 
as easily change arch_to_object to fill in the value right now, but I don't 
think that is really the right approach - I'm not sure if that may result in 
other side effects just as bad as what we have now).

  I looked at the code for the wiz create command (which btw is completely 
seperate code compared to the creator command) - could be a few reasons it 
doesn't work, most of which should be trivial - I'm not sure if to start out 
with whether or not the create command even treats the object name correctly, or 
if it is breaking apart the 'of' context which creates some not so good effects.
