It's something that most *Diku* (and Diku-derivative) veterans might try, but I'm not sure about "most mud veterans." (Heck, most mud veterans *I* know try looking at the help to see what sort of commands are supported first, so they'd be able to deal with any reasonable command structure.) I do agree, though, that it would be a good idea for a mud to support that syntax as well as the LP-style "sword 2" and the English "second sword" and "2nd sword". -- |\ _,,,---,,_ Travis S.
