hi maverick.. Im not sure what happend with your writting in the 'marvelous message'.
If you got to write your messages and clicked save and it did not show, then there may have been some wierd combo of characters that foolied it into not saving your messages.
If you didnt even get to write in it, just remember the 'it' can only be used if you see the name of your last object below the 'cmd' input box.
eg: create a box. look. edit it -> will fail as the look looses the box as your last object.
As for cowscript.. yes.. it can force people out of your safe.. something like this:
##arrives:runsub whattodo: rem trigger when someone arrives;
##whattodo: rem the block to run when someone does arrive;
var $outside to $actor's loc; rem identify the location we want to move people to;
set $init_obj's loc to $outside; rem change the initiating objects location to this;
say 'leaves',"[$init_obj] is magically forced away"; rem let ppl know;
set $loc to $outside; rem make sure we say the next thing in the right place;
say 'xarrives',"[$init_obj] was forced out of [$actor]";
This code would live in any object inside your safe and it waits for someone to arrive, then kicks them out.
As for World Wind.. have you found any Pyramids in Egypt yet? :-)

hi maverick,
I have sent many things to xiii.. so nothing to you..
..but I do hope you read them all too :-)
I have been playing with NASA World Wind (satelite images plastered over a globe for zooming in on).
Hi wolis.
That's my first test of the postman, so i'm crossing fingers ;)
Actually it didn't worked as i expected. I 'create a marvelous message for wolis'
and next 'write in it' but something doesn't worked as expected since after
the save the command frame goes white and nothing except 'it's an ordinary kind of ...'
appear in the object.
But still i'm able to write in yours ...
I've hided the window and some secure storage in my office,
but i'm wondering if it's possible using Cowscript to either auto hide the safe content
or prevent other people to open/enter the safe ?
I'll look after what you've send to xiii as soon as he get back,
or i'll dig into the postman ;)
Btw i too am trying the NASA Whorld Wind now. It's quite insane.
Thanks for the nothing.
Maverick
