SYNOPSIS
	void _signal_dropped();

	the dropped object _after_ the item is moved to the environment
	of the player.

	  set_short("a broken vase");
	  set_long("The vase is cracked and large pieces are missing.\n");
	  set_value(20);
	}
	 
	void reset()
	{
	  set_name("vase");
	  set_short("a delicate vase");
	  set_long("A most delicate vase of the finest china, you had\n"+
