Trace page_string and figure out the last statement it executes
before ending the string. Then, add a hook to your functionality.
I would do something like this:
page_string_extra(buf, ch, k, fn); <-- fn is a function. gets
assigned
to a member of ch->desc. if nonzero, it
gets called
immediately after the string is finished.
page_string(buf, ch, k); <-- 'normal' page_string, equivalent to
page_string_extra(buf, ch, k, 0);
