! Default merchant script..

! (c) DC Software, 1992
!
! Pending Enhancements
!
! - I need to create a voice file (.VFL) with voices for this script.
!   Look at the 'voice()' entries to see what voices it would play if
!   they were available.  These voices could even be placed in the
!   system's voice file (DCSOUNDS.VFL) in which case the voice command
!   should read 'voice( xxxx, 1000 )'.
