Not meaning to sound harsh here, but a lot of these questions can be
answered easily. Reading the FAQ and WTFAQ will answer a few of them.
The rest are answered by common sense, look at the code and find
something that works similar to what you want. Copy that and modify
to your needs.

Depends on what you want to do.
if you want the command "say" to take specific input from the character
and do something special.. then look at do_say

"level 1" is two arguments I believe.
try using grep command (or find in windows) and find "two_arguments"
and see #2.

Learn what a patch file is, and how it works. read the WTFAQ and FAQ.
You will have to patch in by hand (type it manually) into the code
by comparing the "mail.c.rej" that it created (look right after hunk #8
above)
to mail.c and fit it in.
