HelpPlayer General • Color

This MUD is best experienced from a color terminal.  Information 
comes across to people with special codes denoting what type of information 
is being sent.  If you have used the 'setenv' command to specify 
a terminal protocol that supports color codes, then the information 
will be in color.  Otherwise it will come across in the regular two color, 
usually black and white. 
 
You may send out text in color to others in your 'say' and 'tell', etc 
using the protocol developed by Pinkfish@Discworld.
