I think you're right.  I was hoping to add a little code to add arrows
to my pickup list, but a quick look through the client source has me
thinking that this stuff is in the server, and the client just sends a
'pickup X' command when I do 'pickup X.  For that matter, is it
possible to add commands at all in the client, or does the client just
pass everything to the server?  I've just started looking through the
source, so I'm sure this'll become obvious soon.
