Cleo suggested adding an "emote" command, similar to what is available on MUDs, I quote: So if the emote command was & I could type & smiles sweetly at Guest 2077 and the balloon under me would say Cleo smiles sweetly at Guest 2077 End quote. The following OUTCHAT script can be used to emulate the "&" command that Cleo describes. I think the idea is a good one and should probably be added to a future version of the client (with a special balloon shape) - this'll work in the meantime, as a workaround for the power user. It uses the "!" balloon shape. - Jim ON OUTCHAT { { "$1" GREPSUB what = "! " USERNAME + " " + what + SAY "" CHATSTR = } CHATSTR "^& (.*)" GREPSTR IF }
