"HELP PHONG" doesn't work as intended #54

>HELP PHONG
"I don't need your help."

Which makes sense, but Phong has his own response to the HELP action in PHONG-F:

       (<AND <DOBJ? PHONG> <VERB? HELP>>
    <TELL
"Phong looks offended. \"I'm quite capable by myself, you know.\"" CR>)

Apparently COM-CHECK handles it first, which surprised me because it's only called if WINNER is PHONG, and I thought that only happened when you were trying to order him around.
