  +desc/kill <desc-name>         - Erase an old description.

  This set of commands will allow you to use the global multi-description
  system. If your character has more than one description, please use this
  system, and not an object which wastes DB space. If an object is found, it
  will be destroyed. These commands let you store any number of descriptions
  and to retrieve them as needed. Your current description is the one loaded
  into @desc on your character and is the one that rest of the world sees.

  Some helpful tips: '+desc/store' is used to author a new description. It does
  not save or modify your current @desc but creates a brand new saved
  description. Use '+desc/save' to save your current @desc so that you can
  retrieve it later. This is also handy for porting descriptions from other
  multi-descers as you can load them into your @desc and then use '+desc/save'.
  
  You can chain together sets of descriptions, making a complex multi-descer.
  For instance, describe your character's facial features (but no clothes yet),
  calling it BASIC. Then, create a second description containing only your
  character's clothes, calling it something like CLOTHES. Then, you can use
  '+desc/get BASIC CLOTHES', and it will install both descriptions, with BASIC
  coming first and CLOTHES coming next.
