"LOOK AT object THROUGH BINOCULARS" and "FOCUS BINOCULARS ON object" aren't always the same

>LOOK
Paved Road

Your eyes follow the instrument lines northwest, where a cluster of shelters and
searchlights is visible on the horizon. The paved road continues in that
direction, and also leads southwest.

An abandoned jeep is parked nearby.

>LOOK AT SHELTERS THROUGH BINOCULARS
You focus the binoculars on the shelters.

Peering closely, you can see that the shelters are heavily manned.

>FOCUS BINOCULARS ON SHELTER
Little can be seen from where you're standing.

This is probably because NBUNKERS-F gets to handle the FOCUS-ON action through this:

	       (<INTBL? ,PRSA ,SEEVERBS ,NSVERBS>
		<CANT-SEE-MUCH>
		<RTRUE>)

So V-FOCUS-ON never gets to reroute the action as LOOK-THRU instead. I'll make a list of where this matters later.

The objects you can look at through the binoculars

  • ME, HANDS, FEET, POCKET, GROUND, EYES, ANKLE, MOUTH, HEAD
  • SBUNK, SBENTRY
  • DTOWER
  • NBUNKERS
  • SPOT, SLIGHT
  • GDESERT, DMOUNTS, FHILLS

Objects you can't focus on:

  • MOUTH, HEAD
  • NBUNKERS

I think NBUNKERS is the only one worth fixing.
