[PENNMUSH] A Newbie and His Questions

[Talvo Hornblower]

Hi Alex,

First of all, what exactly are you typing? In your example for B, for instance, it should be &age <object>=23, and likewise for 
@desc <object>=<whatever>, etc.

Secondly, check out the help for @attribute. You need to add all your @attributes into the @startup of #1 (or another very 
low-dbrefed object) so they're run at startup every time your MUSH reboots. IIRC (I haven't used it for a while) the command is 
@attribute/access/retroactive Age=Wizard to only let wizards set the AGE attribute on any object.

Hope that helps,
Mike Griffiths
