hi quoll,
Ok, more things for you to remember:
1) if you simply create a note and write in it, I will find it by using the list new command.. however its much more fun using he post office so:
create a note for wolis then edit it then finally post it
2) I dont remember the exact details but portals have to be created in a place where there are no objects with matching names (no other portals). You may want to build a construction room for this purpose. then:
get the construction room or
drop the construction room whenever you need to use it.
Now a portal is simply a doorway to a new location eg:
build a portal to a fishing village
Naturally you would want to lock the portal and paint the portal
You may even want to describe the portal to add some descriptive text.
Now the fun part.. you can get the portal (iether the one outside the fishing village or inside) then teleport to a new location and drop the portal
