After reading a command (this is the left/right hack rule): [ This unfortunate hack is necessary to work around a mysterious bug that appeared at one point, preventing the words "left" or "right" on their own from being understood by the parser.]

if the player's command includes "left", replace the matched text with "hleft";

if the player's command includes "right", replace the matched text with "hright".
