"GIVE HAND TO person" probably doesn't work as intended #37

The PRE-GIVE routine looks like it tries to re-interpret "GIVE HAND TO person" as "SHAKE HANDS WITH person":

<ROUTINE PRE-GIVE ()
     <COND (<AND <VERB? GIVE>
             <PRSO? ,HANDS>>
        <PERFORM ,V?SHAKE-WITH ,PRSI>
        <RTRUE>)
           (<IDROP>
        <RTRUE>)>>

But it's not working:

>GIVE HAND TO JOE
[That sentence isn't one I recognize.]

To make it work the way I think it should, I have to change it to <PERFORM ,V?SHAKE-WITH ,PRSO ,PRSI> instead:

>GIVE HAND TO JOE
"You're welcome."
