[PennMUSH] @channel/recall

[Alan Schwartz]

Quoting Impster667 (impster667 at cox.net):
> So we're using PennMUSH version 1.8.2 patchlevel 3 [03/11/2007]. and I've got the channel buffers on. So RL had popped up this week and I went to do a @chan/recall 100, 100. And that took me back to last Sunday.  @chan/recall 100,500 took me to about Thursday.  Anyone know of a way to see the total number of messages in the buffer to figure out what number you should use as the second Argument?  Or is it just trial and error.to find how high of a number you need to use?

There's already a ticket for the devs to add a way for @chan/recall
to take a time argument (like '1d') to recall back only that far.
