(Radios and other devices active when switched on; Aftershock)
Modifying the rules for examining a device so that all devices have some specific behavior when switched on, which is described at various times.
The built-in behavior of Inform is to print a line after a device is examined, saying whether the item is on or off. This is often inappropriate, and we could simply turn off that behavior in general by instructing Inform to ignore the "examine described devices rule" (see the chapter on rulebooks).

Perhaps, though, we would like continue to have a short passage about the action of any switched on device; we'd just like a little more control over what it says from time to time. And in that case, we might change the rule to give a new activity control over that portion of the description:

On the other hand, there are times when we may want to add a similar line or two to the descriptions of other kinds of objects. <b>Crusoe</b> allows us to append an "It is charred." sentence to the end of descriptions of things we have burned in the fire. Since it works by introducing a "printing the description" activity, Crusoe is also a good example to start from if we want to introduce more complex, flexible descriptions of items throughout our story.
