I'll look into this before releasing pl7.

Online docs address script issues only, not implementation
issues. Addressing this, I'd like to add a web section for the
implementors, but I don't see this happening soon.
DG_CASTER_PROXY is defined in dg_scripts.h to be the VNUM
of the mob to perform the cast for an object or room trigger. I set
this to 1, assuming most muds would still have Puff defined. Your
mud most likely has no mob in VNUM 1.

I'll look into this as well.

pl7 has a new text variable field. Command triggers get %cmd%
passed into them. %cmd.mudcommand% will return the command
that would be resolved for %cmd%, thus:
if (%cmd.mudcommand% != east)
return 0
halt
end
will take care of this. Again, not until pl7.

Your SENDOK macro might not be properly defined, most
likely the result of an oversite when patching in the package.
Check for .rej files created during the patch and make sure
all non-applied portions have been addressed.
