ANSWERED: Bellman

Been a little bit since I used it, so I tried to get it remind me how, but it seems the help functionality is broken.

Main Road
The main road leads north further into town, and south toward the outer gates.
Everything around you is built extremely simple, solely for the purpose of
survival, with little or no creature comforts. The towers and walls of the
Keep can be seen on a hill north of here, and a small lane leads off to the
east.
[ obvious exits: N E S W ]
Zone: Fal Dara
An oil lamp, set in a steel cage, hangs from a high wooden pole.
A man is here.
A run-down looking man wanders aimlessly, collecting lost belongings.
A warhorse is here, stamping his feet impatiently, being ridden by you.
A well-dressed man peals his bell, alerting people to the latest news.

After player complaints, the standard help command was changed to "help command".

You have a space between news and 5 which is making this not work.

Curious why the listen can have a space between news and #, but leave can't?

I tried, but if you then leave the word "listen" in the phrase it stores, it will mess up and just spill the message #.

Would be awesome if this could be coded so it could capitalize correctly, use punctuation, be longer, etc. Really neat (and underused) feature that makes the world feel more alive.
