[misterhouse-users] Generic_Item - Broken?

[Mike D. <md...@mi...>]

I'm trying to use a Generic_Item to store states.  For some reason, I can't
seem to get the "set" method working.  Sample code:

# This works....
$tv_grid = new Generic_Item;
set $tv_grid 'This Old House';
print_log "TV grid state: $state";

# But then, this always prints the original text....
set $tv_grid $who;    # $who has a valid string (trust me)
$state = state
$tv_grid;
print_log "TV grid state: $state";    # Always prints original text

Am I doing something wrong, or is there something wrong with Generic_Item?

Thanks for any help.

Mike
