Showing help on 'ansi-options'

You can customize the way the ANSI Player Class works with the @ansi-options
command. The format of this command is:

@ansi-option shows the ansi options
@ansi-option <option> [is] <value> sets <option> to <value>
@ansi-option <option>=<value> sets <option> to <value>
@ansi-option +<option> sets <option>
@ansi-option -<option> resets <option> (equiv. to <option>=0)
@ansi-option !<option> resets <option> (equiv. to <option>=0)
@ansi-option <option> displays value of <option>

The ansi options available at this time are:

colors This option specifies whether the MOO will display
color sequences (such as [blue] and [red]).

blinking This option specifies whether the MOO will allow things to
blink on and off. Most people find this annoying so they
keep this off most of the time.

bold This option specifies whether the MOO will allow bright
colors. This probably isn't very useful unless you happen to
have a hangover (maybe from a MOO bash, right Chapman ;) and
the bright colors are hurting your eyes or something.
(Or unless you're using a stupid windoze client that
bolds as cyan.. gimme the name of a good freeware one
and I'll be happy.. -Grant)

misc This option specifies whether the MOO should display all the
ANSI codes not covered by the ones above. This should usually
be on if any of the above ones are on and will probably cause
some very strange effects if it's not.

extra This option specifies whether the MOO will send certain
non-printable characters. So far, this option only includes
beeps. NOTE: these will probably work even if your terminal
is not ANSI compatable.

all This turns on all of the above options. Equivalent to
'@ansi-options -none' except that it automatically does an
'@ansi-options -ignore'.

none This turns off all of the above options. Equivalent to
@ansi-options -all

escape This option specifies what character the MOO will send for
an escape character. The default is an ASCII character 27
but it can be set to another string in case control characters
won't get through to your terminal (like say if you are
multimooing from another MOO or something, see 'help
ansi-multimooing' for more information on that.)

ignore This option overrides all the other options and tells the
MOO to completely ignore any ANSI codes. This means that you
will see the actual codes (like [blue] or [normal]) instead
of having them either translated or stripped out like normal.
This will probably screw up the line wrapping, text centering
and a bunch of other things and will probably be very spammy
but it's useful for checking the value of properties and
other things.

no_connect_status This option specifies whether the ANSI status message
will be displayed when you log on.
