The expanded editor is a more robust text editor for in-game
messages such as mud mails, news posts, plans, and descriptions.
As the name suggests, the expanded editor features many more
commands than the standard version. A full list of commands can
by accessed by typing 'h' at the command prompt, but the most
commonly useful commands are:
Command Action
------- ------
a add text starting on the next line*
c change the current line (prompts for replacement text)*
d delete line(s)
h the full command list
i insert text starting on the previous line*
n toggle line numbers
q quit editor
Q quit without saving
x save and quit
z display 20 lines
Z display 40 lines
= show current line number
go to line number
More in-depth help for individual commands is accessed by typing
'h' Some commands cannot be used by players.
*Text input mode is ended by placing a period on a line by itself.
