Tell
Script function world.Tell Read about scripting Type Method Summary Sends a message to the output window - not terminated by a newline Prototype `void Tell(BSTR Message);` View list of data type meanings Description `This makes a note in the output window. It is not transmitted to the world. It is useful for making comments to yourself. The note is NOT automatically terminated by a newline, so you can use Tell multiple times on one line (eg. to change colour in mid-line). The note appears in the current NoteColour (a custom colour), or in the RGB colours selected by NoteColourFore and NoteColourBack. You can also choose colours with NoteColourRGB and NoteColourName. A new line will automatically be started by output from the MUD, or a command that you type being echoed to the output window. You can send a new line yourself by sending vbCRLF (in Visual Basic) or \n in Jscript or Perlscript.` VBscript example
