Grab - grabs a MUSH attribute

A few years ago there was talk about using MUSHclient to "grab" attributes on a MUSH, so they could be edited in the command window. It took a while to find the original idea (in fact, it is mentioned in suggestion #60), so I thought it could be usefully resurrected as a plugin.

Once the plugin is installed, just type: grab object/attribute, and the attribute will be placed in the command window ready for editing. When you are finished just hit <enter>.

The plugins is below, or can be downloaded from the plugins web page.

This lets you edit a MUSH attribute in the command window, and then send it back to the MUSH.

Usage
-----


grab item/attribute

  eg.  grab me/describe


The plugin will send:  @pemit/silent me=password &%2 %1=[get(%1/%2)]

It awaits a response, and then upon receipt places it into the command window 
for editing. Make your changes and press <enter>
