XML keyword ITEM seems to do nothing

[Ednyved]

In the past, I was able to add an unscripted item to a mob or a spawner using the "ITEM,#" keyword and argument. For example, if I wanted half an ankh, I could use ITEM,5. This had all kinds of useful quest applications and was an easy was to see new items with very little hassle. Now, however, it simply does nothing.

Edit: Found a work-around. Instead of using ITEM,5 . . . I used STATIC,5/movable/true. Still, why isn't ITEM working?

Double edit a few days later: Figured it out. It's not responding to "ITEM," but it works with "Item." Huzzah.
