[inform] two possible things


Sun, 3 Dec 1995 02:23:10 GMT

There are two things I'm rather ridiculously desperate to do, which maybe
someone could hep me with....

1.

The first is i need terribly to change the bracketed message given after
the name of a room is printed if you are on a supporter or in a container,
such as might be:

Aquarium Room (in the fish tank)

I might (though this merely a hypothetical example) NEED to change it to
something like:

Aquarium Room (swimming with all the little fishies)

Give me a hint if you know... I haven't really tried anything drastic yet.
I'm decided to consult the experts first... (-: Maybe can hack it with the
"NewRoom" entry point? Hum...

2.

You know how when it lists all the items in the area that are "visible",
and quite logically says:

You can see the toaster oven and a roll of duct tape.

Well (again just a hypothetical, only vaguely related to what i'm *really*
trying to do <hehe>-- but still an interesting idea, now that i think of
it!) what if the person was blind and you wanted to print:

You can feel the toaster oven and a roll of duct tape.

I have searched (superficially) the library files and can't seem to notice
anything that jumps out at me as how to accomplish this. I recall reams of
amazingly confusticated (to me)instruction on all manner of customizing the
actual listing of objects... but to change just the little preamble to the
list...

Pweese hep me! Tenk you.
