Command Descriptions

Usage    : shout <message>
   This allows you to "shout" to the whole talker.


Usage    : ctell
   This command clears your revtell buffer, so that you have no tells.


Usage    : tell <username> <message>
   This allows you to speak privately to another user without having to
   find a private room.


Usage    : shemote <action preformed>
   This command allows a user to "shout"(broadcast to every other
   user in the talker, provided they are not ignoring shouts) an
   action.  Similar to the .emote command, except that all users can
   see it.


Usage    : pemote <username> <message>
   This allows you to do private emotes to individual users.
   The '/' sign can be used as a shortcut.


Usage    : go [<room>]
   This command moves you to another room which must be linked to
   your current one (unless you are an Elder or higher).   Usage of 'go'
   by itself will return you to the login room.


Usage    : ignore <all/tell/shout/pictures/atmos/system/wtell>
   This command allows you to ignore different types of messages,
   just ".ignore" by itself will show which messages are being ignored
   right now.


Usage    : public [<roomname>]
   This will set a private room back to public as long as it is
   not fixed to private. The <room> option can only be used by
   users of gatecrash_level and above.


Usage    : private [<roomname>]
   This will set a public room to private as long as it is
   not fixed to public. The <roomname> option can only be used by
   users of gatecrash_level and above.


Usage    : letmein  <roomname>
   This sends a message to people in a private room letting know that
   you wish to enter. Its then up to them to invite you in.


Usage    : invite <username>
   This will allow a user of your choice to be invited into a private
   room which you are in.


Usage    : topic [<message>/-c]
   This will allow you to set the current topic in the room you are
   in.  The -c switch allows you to clear the current topic, without
   having to add a new one.


Usage    : write [<message>]  or  write <boardname><enter>
   This writes a message on the board of the room you are in. If
   you omit the test you are put into the line editor to enter your
   message in that.  If you are a wiz you may write messages to the
   wiznote.  If you are an admin you may write messages to the admnote
   and the news.


Usage    : search <word list>
   This will search for the words in the word list in all of the
   message boards that you could possibly see. Ie it wont show you
   anything from boards that are in rooms fixed to private if you do
   not have access to those rooms. The word search is done on an OR
   basis, ie if any of the words are in a given message it will be
   shown as opposed to all of the words having to be there.  This does
   not search the wiznote, admnote, or news boards.


Usage    : bring <username>
   Moves a user directly to the room you are in. The user is not brought
   if he is already in the same room as you.  This command is 1/2 of the
   moving process as the user being 'brought' must use 'join' to accept
   the bring.

   You can send mail to a remote service/talker if your talker is
   currently connected to it.

Usage    : whisper <user> <message>
   Whispers a special something to someone in the room. Others in the room
   can see that you have whispered something, but they cannot tell what it
   is that has been said. It is a bit like an in-between between tell and
   sayto ( sto ). Messages are recorded in .revtell and the public version
   is recorded in .rev. You can only whisper to someone who is in the same
   room as you.


Usage    : rooms
