I'm using the latest OS X build of Mac PennMUSH(Which is supposedly a straight compile of PM for UNIX), and trying to create a user-defined command. I tried the example straight out of the help files:

&DO_WAVE me=$wave *:pose {waves to %0.}

and it didn't work! It merely gives me a "huh?", although if I, say, type "wave Bob", it gives me a blank line. Can someone help m with this?

If you type "wave" on its own you will get "huh?" because it doesn't match the command (which is "wave *").

However this worked for me ...



&DO_WAVE me=$wave *:pose {waves to %0.}

One/DO_WAVE - Set.

wave nick

One waves to nick.

I downloaded pennmush-1.7.4p19 from the pennmush.org site, and compiled it under Mac OS X (10.2).

Hmm... well, before, it just gave me a blank line when I typed "Wave nick." But now it works... (sheepishness)
