Seems to me they >should be implicit in the commands that follow them. To add layers of complexity. For instance, while you can smoke a pipe without having equilibrium, you cannot light it. When you light a pipe, it will stay lit for a certain period of time,and then go out. Likewise, there are afflictions that can stop you from charging, but not from flinging. --matt _______________________________________________ MUD-Dev maillist - MUD-Dev#kanga,nu <A HREF="http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev">http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev</A> </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00444" HREF="msg00444.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Languages (slightly offtopic, was Text Parsing)</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Caliban Tiresias Darklock <caliban#darklock,com></LI></UL></LI> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00457" HREF="msg00457.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Languages (slightly offtopic, was Text Parsing)</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Greg Miller <gmiller#classic-games,com></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00464.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] What about goal oriented interfaces?
