# Making a chat room

    Hey I am pretty new to MOOs(Monday :), but I have read all the small documents
    I could find, skimmed thru the programmers manual, and browsed help
    for a possible answer to my question:
    Here is what I want to do, I want to create a chat room where
    anything that is said is automatically sent to the rest of the ppl in
    the room without having to use " or say or emote etc, just from what
    is typed, what I was thinking of doing was hacking the "huh" verb for
    this room to pass whatever was typed on the command line that doesn't
    match a verb (thus calling huh I believe) to
    this.location:announce_all  I have tried a bunch of things and
    haven't been able to get to this verb the way I want to, what exactly
    do I do?  remember I am kinda new to MOOs and if this a newbie
    question I'm sorry, I checked the docs.  I think it would be nice to
    have a document on cool little hacks of existing verbs, ie making a
    look command in a specific room do something totally different.  I
    have looked as pass(@args) but I think I want to suppress the regular
    behavior of the huh verb ie the message "I don't understand that"
    Please help and lead me to some good tutorial documentation (I have
    read all the docs on lucien.sims.berkeley.edu and the ones in
    /pub/MOO/contrib/docs on xerox.
