Using Bulletin Boards and the Valarin Text Editor

From time to time you may find that you need to use a bulletin board to write a message for other players in the MUD. This meesage may be a question, a comment, a suggestion, etc.

To read whats already been written on a bulletin board type "read board" to get a listing of all the messages on the board. To read a particular message, just type "read <message number>".

To write a message onto a bulletin board, type "write <message title>". You'll be taken to the standard text editor for Valarin. Type in your message, being sure to end each line with an enter, then type /s on a new line and hit enter to save your message to the board.

To remove a message type "remove <message number>"
