And Another Question for You All-
(What would I do without you guys? :-)
On our mud, we have an 'outlaw' command which makes you an outlaw
(surprise!). But, we have had problems with people accidentally turning
it on by typing 'out' instead of 'put' since 'o' and 'p' are right next to
eachother, etc. So I am putting in something like in do_shutdown that
sends a message unless you type the entire word. It looks just like
shutdown, yet you can never get past the warning message. The warning
comes up fine if you type 'o' or 'outl' or whatever, but even if you type
'outlaw' it comes up and never sets the bit. I have included the code
below. I know the function itself works fine. We never had any problems
until we added the subcmd line and the confirmation line.
Any Help is Appreciated,
