Section A - Action storing

A command is a kind of thing. A command has an indexed text called message. Understand the message property as describing a command.
A command is either blank or nonblank. A command is usually blank.

Table of Stored Commands

Command	index	undertaking
a command	a number	a stored action
with 49 blank rows

The current command is a command that varies.
The command index is a number that varies.The command index is 0.
The learning flag is a truth state that varies.

A person can be recorded. A person is usually not recorded.

Every turn when the learning flag is true: now the player is recorded.

To store the action:
    if the number of blank rows in the Table of Stored Commands is greater than 0 begin;
        choose a blank row in the Table of Stored Commands;
        change the command entry to the current command;
        change the index entry to the command index;
        change the undertaking entry to the current action;
        increase the command index by 1;
    otherwise;
        say "Robopuppy beeps unhappily, indicating that his memory is full.";
        change the learning flag to false;
    end if;
    now the player is not recorded.

Action storing is an activity.
The last for action storing rule: store the action.

This is the remembrances of things past rule:
    if the player is recorded, carry out the action storing activity.
