The game wants to respond to "GO LEFT" / "GO RIGHT", but doesn't #67

There is this code in V-WALK:

     <COND (<==? ,PRSO ,GLOBAL-CALL>
        <PRE-TURN>
        <RTRUE>)

The synonyms for GLOBAL-CALL are CALL, CONVERSATION, LEFT and RIGHT. So I think the intention here is to handle "GO LEFT" and "GO RIGHT". PRE-TURN would then print "Specify a direction if you want to move around."

But PRSO seems to be 0, and I don't know how to fix that.

The same thing happens in The Witness.
