[PENNMUSH] Local Commands

[Andrew Mackie-Mason]

I've been looking around those sites--thanks again, by the way--but I
cannot figure out how to get attributes. Say I wanted a +finger
command, where the caller could type +finger One, for example, or any
other user. So far I have:

&cmd-finger finger-object=$+finger *:@pemit %#=%0/name

But this dosn't work. How can I get the user from the argument, and
then get their name?

Thanks,
Andrew
