Though its usually impossible to tell if a person is the same
person based on the ip address (specially since most people use either a
university where many people connect from the same site, or dynamic
addressing from their dial up provider), you could simply have a message
in the character creatation cycle that asks if they've ever played here
before. If not, display the learner book, and then continue with the
process..
Thats simple, and otherwise, you'd have to write a spec proc,
which it dosen't sound like you could do - no offense.
To make a newbie start room, simply have the charater be loaded to
a room based on level, or something like that
if(GET_LEVEL(ch) ==1) {
char_to_room(ch,3020);
}
again, in interpreter.c, in the character creation process.
