##  SGP MUX helpfile additions - 25 April 2001
##
##  This is a file that will update MUX +help and +shelp files for SGP supported 
##  games whose code came from either the MUX or Penn minimal databases or the 
##  SGP website (http://sgp.erisian.net) prior to 25 April 2001.  
##  Code taken from the SGP website and installed AFTER 25 April 2001 will already 
##  have these changes or will be covered by a subsequent set of bugfixes.
##
##  DO NOT USE THIS FILE if you are installing SGP into a blank database.  All 
##  of these changes are included as part of the standard installers.

##  Using this file:
##
##  Because of the way that MUX handles +help and +shelp within the game 
##  account, lucky you gets to add these entries in by hand.  From within an 
##  editor such as pico, or one on your own PC, you can cut and paste the 
##  entries into the file. You will need to hand edit BOTH plushelp.txt and 
##  staffhelp.txt in order to make these changes, upload to game/text/, then 
##  @readcache from within the MUX to make them permanent.

##  +help CREDITS         (update)
##  +shelp +motd          (update)

& +motd
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+motd

  SYNTAX: +motd/list
          +motd/set <type>=<message>
          +motd/del <type>=<MOTD #>
          +motd/clear <type>
          +motd/reset   

  This code allows for easier manipulation of the @motd command and the use of 
  softcoded MOTD to create semi-permanent MOTD.  
  
  The first command lists the stored MOTD messages in order from oldest to 
  newest, by MOTD type.  The types listed are: general, wizard, down, and 
  full.  
  
  The second command sets an MOTD attribute to the global parent.  You select 
  the type from the above list and set the message of your choosing.  
        
  > +motd/set general=This is an MOTD.

  The third command removes a selected MOTD # from a given MOTD listing.  In 
  the above example, the message number is 1 in the general list. 

  > +motd/del general=1 

  The fourth command clears all the MOTD of a given type.

  > +motd/clear general 
  
  The last command resets the +motd system so that the game will read the 
  MOTDs appropriately.  This code is called as part of the @startup for the 
  object.
