"LOOK IN CIRCUIT BOARD" prints no response

That's because the circuit board (BOARD) is a container, but it only contains one object (DIPSWITCH), and that object has NDESCBIT.

Some objects, e.g. THUMB handles the LOOK-INSIDE action to print its own custom message. But I think we should simply add to this special case in V-LOOK-INSIDE:

	       (<AND <PRSO? ,SPARE-DRIVE ,THUMB ,PLOTTER>>
		<TELL "You can't do that." CR>)

(Note that this case includes THUMB, even though it has its own. An oversight, I guess.)
