    Hmmm.. Actually, i don't see your problem... Unless you use the InMOO
    editor (which sucks royal, with any verb, no matter what.) If you use it,
    try to get TF (TinyFugue) and LeDormants TF-editor macros. (or someone elses)
    It will let you edit with your fav editor, like Joe or Emacs.
    What you need to do is just tell_lines a list. Best thing is to make a
    big list with everything it, and tell_lines it to the player in the end.
    (Because that way it is less lag-garbled and less hackable for phony
    'who'listings. We have had that problem in our MOO once)

    Personally, i wouldn't put all the Stats on it, for most obviously, a
    Wizard is both a builder and a programmer, a progammer is most obviously
    a builder and a player, and a Staffmember (if it is what i think it is)
    is like a programmer.

    If you need help, we can rig you a bare who listing like you want it, so
    you can edit it to your taste.
