That's all there is to it!
Since zMUD supports MSP, it's also smart enough to know that the actual MSP
string it found doesn't need to be displayed. That's why zMUD suppresses
it. (I think that's a zMUD option, actually - might be nice to disable that
for testing sometimes.)
Sort of a side note - I'd definitely recommend using named constants for the
sound file names. and wrapping the call for sound and music in functions. A
little more work now but almost certainly worth it.
