They don't keep track.  You can only be in the process of learning
one thing at a time, so if you issue three 'learn' commands, meaning
to issue corresponding 'teach' commands on the next turn, the first
two will be overwritten by the third.  By the same token, you can't
build up a queue of 'teach' commands.  However, if three different
characters have already issued 'teach' commands, you can issue three
'learn' commands in one turn, because each cycle will be completed
immediately, with no need to 'save' the information.  Similarly,
if three different characters issued learn orders last turn, you
can issue three teach orders on your turn and all will succeed.

I think.
