You can use a mouse in a MUSH to move around? I didn't know that. The only
problem I have with a MUSHes in general is that there are alot of commands
to remember, not really so many for moving and talking, but to "enhance" the
"mood" so to speak.

One thing I will say that makes a MUSH much better than something like
WorldChat is the fact that in a MUSH you use your imagination to picture the
scene how you want, in world chat, it's shown to you.
Something I think would be funny to do in world chat, is envade other
"rooms" with Klingons, since it's not all just Klingons there...

How much RAM do you have in the laptop? I'll pop into the MUSH every now
and then, I usually end up getting lost in the commands.
