With Nexus, you use the composer.

When I went to WRITE something with zMUD, I didn't get any prompt to write in...

Any help please?

Try, when writing, using *help - should give you some information on what to do.

I'd offer more help but I'm doped up on flu meds.

There are big buttons and menu for everything you need to make. Click on Settings and from there you go on.

You completely misunderstand the question. She means for writing IC scrolls and such, not triggers/aliases.

What you want to do is open a text editor, like Notepad, and write whatever it is you want to write there. Then, copy/paste it into the command line editor that non-Nexus clients pull up when they WRITE things. First, you'll want to turn off triggers/parsing (the gun icon and the computer icon in the lower right corner of zMUD), just so zMUD doesn't think you are entering aliases and so you can use characters like ; which zMUD normally interperts as special characters.

Then type *save to save it, *echo to view it, *quit to quit without saving, *clear to clear everything, etc.


I find editing this way to be the easiest, rather than typing everything on the command line editor.

True biggrin.gif . I read it fast. Anyway, I'm still not sure what was the original problem since I didn't write many longer things IC like scrolls and letters. Well, I'll risk it again smile.gif ... for few things I did write I found ZMUD editor to work fine. Try CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

I never knew that existed.

Thank you.

No problem. I'm glad I made up for my complete missunderstanding of the post before biggrin.gif . That thing is very little known, probably because it is hidden in windows menu.
