Automatic door opening doesn't always work #86

There is code in GOTO to automatically open doors between your current location and your destination when you use "GO TO room". But it doesn't quite work all the time. I haven't bothered to figure out the exact rules, but here is one example:

In the lab at the start, go to the storage closet. On your way there, make sure that the south doorway, the lab door and the storage door are closed.

If you type "GO TO WEST WALKWAY", it will automatically open all three doors for you, just as intended.

If instead you had typed "GO TO SUB", it would only have opened the storage door. The other two doors would still be closed.
