You're welcome :-)

Is there a command to manually print the "You can also see..." line in Adventuron? (I can't remember off the top of my head)
If so, or if there was, then another possible simple solution would be to drop the object list from the location format, and manually print it (on first enter) from the on_describe block, once all the object moving around stuff is done.
Yes, you can print an object list for a location but I feel it's easier to rely on the layout mechanism.
How I see it, the problem is really "how do I execute something before layout", not "how do I manually perform layout".
The suggested workaround will work, and once pre_describe {} is added, then the layout won't have a problem any more.
