There is a reload command:

Usage: reload < '*' | all | file >

Reload is used to reload text files such as the MOTD from disk into
memory.
reload * reloads all the text files below.

Valid files are:

  background (/mud_dir/lib/text/background)
  credits    (/mud_dir/lib/text/credits)
  handbook   (/mud_dir/lib/text/handbook)
  help       (/mud_dir/lib/text/help)
  immlist    (/mud_dir/lib/text/immlist)
  imotd      (/mud_dir/lib/text/imotd)
  news       (/mud_dir/lib/text/news)
  motd       (/mud_dir/lib/text/motd)
  info       (/mud_dir/lib/text/info)
  policy     (/mud_dir/lib/text/policies)
  wizlist    (/mud_dir/lib/text/wizlist)
