%Player%.Location.LongLocationDescription should just print the contents of the long location description text box.

However, it currently gives the same output as the %Player%.Location.Description item function or the %DisplayLocation[]% general function.
That is, it adds extra text after the description, such as:
"Also here is the silver cup. Jack and Jill are here"

This makes it impossible to customise the message printed by the LOOK command, or to print the long description by itself, or to sort/group the list of objects.

WORKAROUND: Create your own location property of type text and use that for the description of the location instead.
Now anywhere that the long description is used, such as %Player%.Location.Description in the LOOK task, change it to use the new property instead.
You can then add your own functions to print the objects the way you want.
