Updated Command Menu:
This hack streamlines the COMMAND Menu and makes it function more like in later games.

Revised COMMAND Menu: /----COMMAND----\
| TALK SPELL |
| STATUS ITEM |
| SEARCH DOOR |
\---------------/

- The 'STAIRS' menu item was removed and the game was updated to automatically use stairs as soon as they are walked on.
- The 'TAKE' menu item was removed and its function was rolled into 'SEARCH'. When used on Chests, 'SEARCH' now automatically takes the contents.
A minor text string was also edited to help the SEARCH dialog transition into the TAKE dialog.

(All of the code changes were made inline (no free space was used), so it should be compatible with any other hacks that don't shift code around or try to change the root COMMAND Menu or Stair usage routine.)


Version 1.1:
- Re-wrote Stair-checking section to streamline it and isolate it from the Take section.
- Made 2 minor map edits to prevent forced automatic stair useage.
Mountain Cave, 1st Floor: Removed wall tile 1 sq. down and right from NW stairs.
Charlock Castle, 3rd Floor: Shifted far NW stairs right 1 sq.
