I'm still confused as to howcome you cannot have an interface like that.  The
interface is however you <big word> well make it. All you have to do is hose a
few commands and rename them.  User interface is the most trivial thing in
ColdMUD.  I beleive that coldworld (greg's core) has prolly less than 20 line
commands when you begin--and they ARE based off the Tiny family like
commands...
