This is done because in the game_loop, if the descriptor has str set, then string_add is called instead of the interpreter. > > >2) How did Jeremy make it so that while writing/mailing, > you don't see spam all over the screen from other > people gossiping, talking, ...

Just search for that d->str or something like that in the descriptor data(I forget). You will find lots of locations and some of those will be where the string gets set and you enter the string editor. Therefore, it probably is NOT the PLR_WRITING flag but instead that character pointer. Don't take this as gospel, read the code yourself and try to understand it. -Jason
