&gt;&gt; I've been on a few LPs that had such a command... indeed, it may have

&gt;&gt; used some escape character at the start of the line.
&gt;
&gt;I *think* it was a 2.4.5 command called "chat", but it's been ages since
&gt;I used it. However, I recall that RoundTable II had it, and it's still
&gt;up (and working on an updated mudlib after all these years, according to
&gt;the help files).

It was originaly called 'converse', it might have been changed by your
admins.  Most lp's have added converse &lt;name&gt; as an addition so you can do
tells as well.  All Discworld libs allow 'repeat &lt;command&gt;' which allows
you to repeat any command you wish with the bits you type in added.  I am
not sure how often the command it used though, I would tend to say that it
is fairly infrequent.

May your days be nice and fluffy,
David.
