So just switching over from mudmaster2k, which i last played quite a few years back. Been reading through the FAQ page as well as the forums and I haven't seen this answered so maybe its just really easy..

I'm used to having the command lone hold the last command until something new is typed. functions like ctrl + r does in mushclient.

gameplay wise means i can hit w once, then start mashing return for however many time i want to run that direction.

Also this might be something with the mud I play in particular but: I cant get triggers to ding off of anything in the room descriptions, room titlse or even just using say command to try to trigger it to test it with a 'you say "trigger action."' ..but the triggers work fine off of ever other action in game just fine.

Then you aren't writing your triggers properly. *shrug*

Hey Nick and fiendish,
Much thanks for responses, I was able to track down the right menu for the prompt setting, muy bueno!

as far as the triggers, i figured out whats up. Seems simple triggers in mushclient like to grab the trigger from full lines, cant do partial sentences or partial lines without researching the code to do so, so that was my problem with triggers, I was just copy/pasting something in a line I wanted to trigger off of instead of a whole in from. I experimented with this a bit and pretty sure it was my issue. Did it with a room title, first i copy/pasted the room title name. nothing, then I added the amount of spaces the game had before the room title and vioala, trigger worked. So i just need to start reading all the trigger code information to see how to grab partial lines to trigger off of.

The command holding situation has me very happy!
