Simple, you don't know how special procedures work. Read up on
spec_procs.c.
Basically, every command someone types in a room gets filtered through all
of the present special procedures first. What you're telling the command
interpreter is that you have handled the command and to not execute it
further. It will obviously return that it handled every command so you may
want to look at Puff to see how she doesn't stop people from doing
commands.
