Changing auto_exit look

From: Brian Jones (balif@seka.nacs.net)

I attempted to change the way do_auto_exits() in act.informative.c worked.
If there is a closed door, it will not show it on autoexits. If you where
in a room with only one closed door to the north, it would say:

[ None! ]

I wanted it to say

[ (N) ]       or [ <N> ]      or some other indication that the exit IS in
fact there but closed. I added the following 3 lines in do_auto_exits() 

 for (door = 0; door < NUM_OF_DIRS; door++) {
    if (EXIT(ch, door) && EXIT(ch, door)->to_room != NOWHERE &&
        !IS_SET(EXIT(ch, door)->exit_info, EX_CLOSED))
      sprintf(buf, "%s%c ", buf, LOWER(*dirs[door]));
->    if (EXIT(ch, door) && EXIT(ch, door)->to_room != NOWHERE &&
->        IS_SET(EXIT(ch, door)->exit_info, EX_CLOSED))
->      sprintf(buf, "%s<%c> ", buf, LOWER(*dirs[door]));
    }

	This appears to work so far. Are there any problems in doing this?

Now what I want to do is be able to have a player type  "close east" or
"open north" and be able to access that door by direction, instead of
having to type "close gate" or "open door" ... any advice on doing this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
