Showing help on 'ansi-multimooing'
For those of you that are multimooing from another MOO (probably using Sunwiz's excellent MultiMOO PC) and your escape characters are getting stripped out, you can tell the MOO to send a certain string instead of an ASCII character 27 by typing: '@ansi-options escape <string>'. You will then have to set your terminal program to translate <string> into an escape character. I would suggest setting <string> to '~' or some other character that is very rarely used. You probably shouldn't tell anyone what character you are using though, because then they can clear your screen, reposition your cursor, and some other annoying things. To tell the MOO to start sending character 27's for the escape characters again, type '@ansi-options -escape'.Other MOOs that have the ANSI PC or other color capability have their own method of transmitting colors, so you should probably set '@ansi-options +ignore' on all the MOOs except the one you are actually telnetting too, this is because inter-MOO connecting can't send escape characters, only ASCII text.
