I was going through the MUSHclient help, and didn't see any information on the following...

Output:
Negotiate About Windows Size
Alternative Inverse/highlight display

Input:
Keep Commands on Prompt Line
Ignore "Echo off" messages

Enable Spam Prevention

Can anyone tell me what these do?

Those features are described in the new helpfile, which you can download from somewhere around here :P

I downloaded the new help for MUSHclient, and don't see a description for any of the features above.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to look in the help file?

Go to the window that these options appear and press F1 or the Help button, it's in there...

It's not there, unless I need to install the new help file that I downloaded. And my last post was for someone to tell me where in the help file are the features described... not that they are just in the help file.

If they are really there, then maybe you can post it, or give me a link.

Poromenous' advice (pressing F1 in the feature's window)
works for me. You just need to copy the contents of the
downloaded .zip file into your Mushclient directory, over
the older help files that are aready there. As an example:


Negotiate About Window Size (NAWS)

If checked, when you resize your window, a special telnet
sequence will be sent to the MUD server to let it know your 
screen width and height. This is helpful for some servers 
that automatically "page" output depending on the client 
window size. If you don't think you need it, leave it 
unchecked.

Dang! Can I have a personal EDIT button on my messages? Please?

Try logging in before you post instead of reading anonomously and giving your name/pwd everytime you post.
