When you get to the screen that contains the text " Welcome to the brin-l chat Mush! Running on a new faster server! You will have to create your name/ password again. Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] about admin issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Use create <name> <password> to create a character. Use connect <name> <password> to connect to your existing character. Use 'ch <name> <pass>' to connect hidden, and cd to connect DARK (admin) Use QUIT to logout. Use the WHO command to find out who is online currently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- ********************************************************* ALL USERS MUST CREATE THEIR NAME/PASSWORD AGAIN TO LOG IN ********************************************************* Use create <name> <password> to create a character. *************** This means YOU! ***************" Tab into or click in the text entry area under the scrolling area and type the commands as described in the introductory message. To create an account and log in you would type create <name> <password> (and the return key obviously) where you replace <name> and <password> with the user name and password you want to use such as create KingKong ladder (and the return key obviously) On subsequent visits to the MUD you would type connect <name> <password> (and the return key obviously) to log in using your previously set up user name and password. Once you are logged in you can type WHO (and the return key obviously) to see who else is there. To say something either type say followed by whatever you want to say say hello (and the return key obviously) or you can abbreviate say to the " character "hello To leave tidily type QUIT (and the return key obviously) That's the basics. -- William T Goodall Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web : http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk Blog : http://radio.weblogs.com/0111221/ Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E.
