 |  
				| Can you feed an NPC reference into NPC(x)/NPC(y)? 
 The dictionary just says "who"... which suggests to me the NPC ID number, but it would make more sense to me if a reference was used instead.
 
 ( As I bump into these issues, I'm compiling a list of clarifications I'm hoping to make to the dictionary )

				| Anywhere you can use a reference, you can use an ID. There are a couple of obvious places where you should use one or the other, though (like the npc reference and get npc id commands). _________________

				| Recent idea: parameters of the same type shared by different commands, eg. the 'who' parameter for all NPC commands, should be linked to a section detailing it. I think this is just what we need. _________________

				| Hey, what happens when you walk an NPC, use the ID as an argument, and there's multiple copies? You just walk the first copy or something?

 Yes. Using the NPC ID will use the first copy of that NPC on the map.
