-+Heres what I am doing with the wait state..
The one_argument() function takes a full string, splits off the first
word; and returns the remaining string after it. The first word is
"returned" in the second variable. For instance, this:
char arg[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH], arg2[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
argument = one_argument(argument, arg);
argument = one_argument(argument, arg2);
sprintf(buf, "Arg==%s, Arg2==%s\r\nRemainder: %s\r\n", arg, arg2, argument);
send_to_char(buf, ch);
with argument=="jack jumped over the", would output:
Arg==jack, Arg2==jumped
Remainder: over the
(note the extra space in Remainder; this is because the spaces aren't
stripped from before argument, so the string is, " over the"; to
strip the spaces use skip_spaces(&argument);).

Well, if the person leaves the wait state, then they also leave the
nanny() function. When they leave the nanny() function, all the
local variables expire...Solution would be to put the variable in the
person's structure...:)
