NOTES


The notes on ROM replace the bulletin boards and mail systems found on many
other muds.  The following options are usable:

Related commands:  NOTE CHANGES NEWS PENALTY IDEA UNREAD
NOTE     General gossip.
IDEA     Ideas concerning the mud.
CHANGES  Implemented changes that affect game mechanics.
PENALTY  Punishments (Immortal only).
NEWS     Upcoming events and such.

Reading notes:
note list ...    See NOTE LIST.
note read        Either by number, or read next to read unread notes.
note remove      Removes a note that you wrote or are the target of.
note catchup     Marks all notes as read (see also CATCHUP).

Writing new notes:
note reply <num> Replies to a note, sets the subject and to fields.
note to          Sets the 'to' line (<player>, <clan>, immortal, clan, etc.)*
                 Multiple recipients should be separated by a space or comma.
                 e.g. note to kot bob immortal
                      Would send to Clan KoT, Bob, and all Immortals.
note subject     Sets the 'subject' for a new note.
note text Enters an editor mode for editing the body of text.
note + [text]    Adds a line of text to a new note (e.g. note + hi guys!)
note -           Remove a line from a note in progress.
note clear       Erase a note in progress.
note show        Shows the note you are working on.
note post        Posts a new note.  This MUST be done to post a note.

*The 'to' line can be set to send to various characters and groups:
<player-name>    Sends to the specified player.
<clan-name>      Sends to the specified clan (don't use shortened names).
<class-name>     Sends to the specified class (don't use shortened names).
all              Sends to everyone.
clan             Sends to all clans.
leader           Sends to all Lords, Leaders, and Immortals.
immortal         Sends to all Immortals.

Upon login, a character will be informed if there are unread notes waiting.
Type 'note read' to scroll through them one at a time.

Four other note directories exist -- these are ideas, news, changes, and
penalties (Immortals only).  Posting to the news and changes boards is
restricted.  All of these are used exactly as "note".

UNREAD can be used to show your unread notes on all the note spools.
