The "CALL" verb can be used to stop a character who is moving towards a goal. But if you use any object other than a person, it acts as if you didn't type an object at all. Which probably isn't what was intended:
Mrs. Robner is to the north, heading toward the north.
>CALL MRS ROBNER
Mrs. Robner stops and turns toward you.
>CALL DOOR
You must supply a verb!
>CALL
You must supply a verb!
That's because V-CALL does <V-CALL-LOSE> if the object doesn't have the PERSON flag. I would suggest using <TELL <PICK-ONE ,YUKS> CR> instead, to print something like "Surely you jest." instead.
