string to_url(location place )

Returns the short url (normally of the form "adventure.php?snarfblat=") used to visit the location place.

Following example shows basic to_url operations.

location first;
first = $location[The Poop Deck];
print(first+" gives "+to_url(first)+".", "blue");

It gives the following output.

The Poop Deck gives adventure.php?snarfblat=159.

Trying to use $location[none] will generate an "Unexpected error."
