It does</div> <div>   not save or modify your current @desc but creates a brand new saved</div> <div>   description. Use '+desc/save' to save your current @desc so that you can</div> <div>   retrieve it later. This is also handy for porting descriptions from other</div> <div>   multi-descers as you can load them into your @desc and then use '+desc/save'.</div> <div>   </div> <div>   You can chain together sets of descriptions, making a complex multi-descer.</div> <div>   For instance, describe your character's facial features (but no clothes yet),</div> <div>   calling it BASIC. Then, create a second description containing only your</div> <div>   character's clothes, calling it something like CLOTHES. Then, you can use</div> <div>   '+desc/get BASIC CLOTHES', and it will install both descriptions, with BASIC</div> <div>   coming first and CLOTHES coming next.</div> <div>   </div> <div>   Please contact staff if you have any questions.</div> <div> ==============================================================================</div> <bR> <div> & +dtw</div> <div> ==============================================================================</div> <div>        +dtw</div> <div> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div> <div> +dtw</div> <bR> <div>   SYNTAX: +dtw</div> <bR> <div>   +dtw returns information about the time of day, month, season, year, </div> <div> tides, weather.</div> <bR> <div> ==============================================================================</div> <bR> <div> & +ooc</div> <div> ==============================================================================</div> <div>        +ooc</div> <div> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div> <div> +ooc</div> <bR> <div>   SYNTAX: +ooc</div> <bR> <div>   +ooc moves (by teleporting) a registered character to the OOC Waiting Room</div> <div>   To return to the last ic location type +ic</div> <bR> <div> ==============================================================================</div> <bR> <div> & +watch</div> <div> ==============================================================================</div> <div>        +Watch</div> <div> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div> <div> Syntax:</div> <div> +watch            -- shows you who is connected that you are watching.</div> <div> +watch/on <default>- turns on the watch code after it has been turned off.</div> <div> +watch/off        -- turns off the Watch without removing your list.</div> <div> +watch/who        -- displays everyone on your watch list and connect status.</div> <div> +watch/hide       -- hides you from the +watch.</div> <div> +watch/unhide     -- allows others to watch your logins and disconnects.</div> <div> +watch/per <name> -- permits <name> to see you while hiding.</div> <div> +watch/rem <name> -- removes <name> from seeing you while hiding.</div> <div> +watch/add <name> -- adds <name> to your watch list.</div> <div> +watch/del <name> -- removes <name> from your watch list.</div> <div> +watch/page <message> -- sends <message> as a page to those on your watch list.</div> <div> +watch/all on     -- allows you to watch all logins and disconnects.</div> <div> +watch/all off    -- prevents you from watching all logins and disconnects.</div> <bR> <div> You may also set the format by which you see logins and disconnects. </div> <div> To do this, set &WATCHFMT me=\%n has \%0. </div> <div> Other useful commands you might add could be \[time()\], \%# or whatever.</div> <div> Also, you may set an AWATCH attribute on yourself that will be triggered</div> <div> when someone logs in.</div> <bR> <div> Credit: +watch was coded by Alton/Cedric@Tir Rauhd and Watchman@Haven.</div> <div>  It may be copied freely.</div> <div> ==============================================================================</div> <bR> <div> & +events</div> <div> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div> <div>        +events</div> <bR> <div> +events Scenes and events can be listed using the +events command so everyone will</div> <div>  be reminded of them.</div> <bR> <div> Syntax:</div> <div> +events     - List upcoming events</div> <div> +events/all - Lists all events.</div> <bR> <div> +events <#> - Views details for a particular event.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> +events/delete <#> - Deletes an event.
