Isn't it rather rude to completely ignore the effect of the command, then? Perhaps we're coming at it from different angles, but it seems to me that if you type 'set file foo sex male' you intend to change foo's gender to male, and for the Mud to silently ignore you or even tell you that the change "probably" won't take effect is a bit silly. Does anyone use 'set file' with the intention that the change not be made if the person is online? Point being that if we ignore in_file, we're silently changing the command, true, but changing it so it has the desired effect, rather than have it say it's done something but not actually have any discernable effect. I think it's a judgement call, though. -dak -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
