I completely misunderstood what PjD was saying in the first message and that's why I asked the question. When he said that he wanted his changes to be made from within his editor in real time I thought that he meant "as we were editing them" - so I had the vision in my head of someone sitting there running his editor basically editing the mud as they would if they were using Oasis or whatever flavor OLC you have but with his GUI. That's why it puzzled me that he was calling it an offline editor. But I see it now, and thanks to both of you guys for straightening that one out for me. I apologize for asking dumb questions and sounding snooty...I'll learn this MUD stuff, eventually. And since I have nothing substantive to add to the thread I'll quit it. Hope you guys figure it out. Sounds cool.
