Giving the plant to someone drops the flower pot

Politely, Eddie (the shipboard computer) refuses your offer.

>GIVE PLANT TO EDDIE
Dropped.

That's probably because of this bit in IDROP:

	       (<PRSO? ,PLANT>
		<PERFORM ,V?DROP ,FLOWERPOT>
		<RTRUE>)

But IDROP is used for a bunch of other commands than "DROP", so it shouldn't assume that here. Perhaps use <PERFORM ,PRSA ,FLOWERPOT ,PRSI> instead? (Of course, this needs to be tested, since I'm only speculating.)
