Yeah.. I got a problem with copy and paste recently related to the < and > symbols..
When copying:
Your iceball >>> ANNIHILATES <<< the red dragon!
The red dragon looks pretty hurt.
I paste:
Your iceball >>> ANNIHILATES
and it ends, it happens with my prompt too..
"<100hp 100m 100m (100gold) [1000tnl] 4am>" just doesnt wanna copy
Was there something in the realm setup I missed when I was playin around with it..?
Where are you copying from and to? That should work OK in MUSHclient. You aren't pasting into zMUD are you? Are you copying text from the output window and pasting into the command window, or doing something else?
The "window where I can see stuff happening" to AIM... That'd be an AIM problem sounds like..?
Sounds like AIM is interpreting the < as part of HTML or something.
Try pasting into Notepad to see if it appears OK there. If it does, you have an AIM problem.
Aim does do HTML stuff, So if you change them to the HTML Equivalents, you should be fine. (< >)
I don't use AIM but surely you can disable this HTML interpretation on paste? Sounds weird for it to do that by default.

If AIM can handle HTML, then you might want to take advantage of it:
Try CTRL-ALT-C (or use the option from the EDIT pull down), to copy the text as HTML. This should, in theory, fix up false tags anyway.
When you paste the text into AIM, it should retain the formatting from your mud output screen.
So then it'll take >>>ANNIHILATES<<< in red like it shows on the mud..? Cool. I'll have to start doing that..
