Caveats

Messages passed to the pose command may also include dialogue. Anything said as dialogue will need to be manually enclosed in double-quotes or the dialogue marker of your choice. Additionally, you will need to insert the appropriate dialogue verbs, such as "says," "said," "yells," &c. See the examples above for reference.

Most MUCKs install a replacement page package. The replacement package has this fundamental functionality described along with additional functions that make page much more flexible. SpinDizzy MUCK has a replacement page command installed.

Say - Send a message to the room

Pose - Send an action to the room

Whisper - Send a private message or action to a person in the same room
