#obj/handlers/nroff.c nroffed_file ({0," Communication There are several ways of communicating on the mud. The most common of these is say. Say tells everybody in the room with you, whatever it is that you type after say. There is also tell which tells one person specifically something. And then there is shout which tells everybody something. The other way of communicating are through soul commands and emoting. The soul commands are to add atmosphere and flavour to your conversations. If someone says something really funny, rather than just typing 'thats funny', you can type laugh which will tell everyone that you fall down laughing. Emoting is similar except that you can do any action, rather than just the ones that are defined in the soul. There are also the commands echo, echoto and echoall. Echo gives everyone in the room the message you type, but it is not clear who it is coming from. It is just as though something had happened and it was telling you about it. Echoto is the same, but it only sends it to a particular person. Similarly, echoall sends the message to everybody on the mud. For more information on all of this, read the help files on the following commands.
