          name = get_datafile_property(game_data,
                                       DAT_ID('N','A','M','E'));
          if (name == empty_string)
             abort_on_error("Object doesn't have a name!");

RETURN VALUE
       Returns a pointer to the text string for the object, or a pointer to
       the variable empty_string if the property isn't present.
