> I realize that not all people have access to a mud client (play on a computer that isn't theirs to touch or something, etc.) but this "command" is a recipe for a huge headache, and I doubt any immortal is going to want to spend time on something that adds little actual value to the game. It shouldn't be that hard..at the very least, I have seen it on other muds (some time ago) so I know there's got to be some source code out there that someone could look at. It's no different than whe, wher, and where all being recognized as 'where'...or 'whois tak' bringing up Takashimi. I like that the imms allow you to see a person's race now when they enter a room...but wouldn't it be nice if you could "murder dark" or "murder storm" or "dirt elf" or something and not even have to worry about the names... sparky
