Fix to problem with just typing "SKIN" not working is in now. This was a little more than a minor fix, so let me know if anything seems odd.
The way it should work is, if you type only "skin" with no critter specified, to look first for whatever you killed last, failing that to check whatever you were engaged to last, and if that isn't available and/or unskinned to find something else in the room that is dead and skinnable.
Snare, this might also have an affect on your favorite skinning bug, so please test that some more, too, if you get the inclination.
