You mud may have more or less commands than ours, but this book will give
you a good overall basis of commands available to immortals.  Ours is in
need of much updating with all the new commands that have went in but this
includes most of them.  I hope you see some redeeming value in this
handbook.

immortal level, and if you have the autowiz program installed, the wizlist
and immlist will automatically be recreated.

character or object.  The remainder of the line is passed to the command
interpreter.

This command provides current machine time ie. the time in the real world
at the game server.

action.  FORCE ALL forces everyone in the game; FORCE ROOM forces everyone in
your room.

HANDBOOK

This is the command to read this book.  It is the first command you
should use when you become immortal.

HOLYLIGHT

A toggle which allows you to see:

   Invisible people and objects
   Hidden people
   Dark rooms

INVIS invis <level>

Invis makes you visible/invisible.  Invis 21 would make you invisible to
every under level 21.  Get the picture?

LAST last <player name>

For checking the last time a person logged on, their sitename, and their
ID number.

LOAD load <mob|obj> <vnum>

Load will create either and object or a mob.  Objects will be on the
ground in the room which you load them.  There are rules about loading
you should know.

MUTE mute <player name>

Mute is useful if someone is swearing or annoying people over public
channels.

NOHASSLE nohassle

Nohassle will prevent agro mobs from attacking you.  All imms should
have this on at all times.

NOTITLE notitle <player name>

Notitle will prevent a player from using the title command.  It is used
when a player has a title which is offensive or impropper.
When you notitle someone, the title they have will remain and be
unchangable.  Force them to title (so the default title is there)
before you notitle them.

NOWIZ nowiz

Allows you to hear or ignore messages coming over the wizline.

PAGE page <name|all> <message>

This will send a message, preceded by your name, and accompanied by
an annoying set of beeps to specified player(s).  Unlike echo's, this
is seen even if the person is sleeping.

PARDON pardon <player name>

Removes killer and thief flags from a player.

POOFIN POOFOUT

Poofin will set the text seen by people when you 'goto' a room.
Poofout will set the text seen by people when you leave a room with
the 'goto' command. Currently these do not save.

PURGE purge <player|obj|mob>

Purge on a player will clear his inventory and equipment list, then
disconnect him.
Purge on a mob will destroy the mob and leave his inventory on the
ground.
Purge on an object will destroy the object.

used on immortals, it sets all skill levels to 100%.

ROOMFLAGS

Toggle which shows room's vnum and any flag's it has (dark, death...)

SET set <file|player|mob> <name> <field> <value>

Set is useful if you know how to use it.  Typing set will show you
the fields which you can set.  Set file will set an attribute in a file
if the player is not logged in.  Set player will search for players,
in the event that a player has the same name as a mob.  The first field
can be left out if the player is logged in and has a unique name.

SHOW show <mode> <arguement>

Show will show information about something.  For example show zones will
show a list of all the active zones.

SHUTDOWN shutdown <reboot|die|pause>

Do not even worry about this one, you will never use it.

SLOWNS

This will toggle the nameserver_is_slow setting, you will never use
this either.

SNOOP snoop <player|mob> <name>

Snoop will show you all text which the arguement sees.  It is only to
be used if necessary, not just to be nosy.  To unsnoop, just snoop
yourself.

SNOWBALL snowball <name>

Snowball is just a social, funny at that, try it.

STAT stat <player|file|mob|obj> <name>

Stat will tell you the stats of the arguement...duh...

Switch will allow you to take over a mob's body, useful for quest's.
Return will put you back to your body.
