Hi Jim, Smile. no, that is not what I meant. When you are typing your screen reader remains in the editor where your code is. However, if you have error checking enabled Window Eyes has a tendancy to read all the error messages as you are typing. For example let us say you are doing a very lar

Hi William, not specifically being a big MOO/mud coder I really can't say for certain that MOO will or will not do all that you desire. I can say it will certainly be much better than trying to write a mud/MOO server from scratch as I have already outlined before. Tell you what if you want to

It's not that there is any inherant evil in a keyboard or that anything is wrong with one or the usage of one in games. But using a keyboard exclusively would be like Nasa digging out the old rockets that first took Neil Armstrong to the moon. Would it work? Sure--after all, it worked before
