Prompt

prompt - Customize the prompt.

Description

The prompt lets one know that the game is ready to accept new input. This command enables controls of the prompt so that it may be customized to deliver more (or less) information to enhance the gaming experience. Several tags are available that will provide key data elements on time of day and character vitals that could keep you informed which are described below. Additionally, this game may send a telnet GO AHEAD code, which will help some game clients, like Mudlet, more efficiently process how fluidly game content is presented with the iacga controls.
