  custom game going on on your system.  Contained within are the secrets of
  the universe.... No wait, that was the other document, this one has all the
  information you will need to write areas for Magic Gate.  What you will find
  will shock, will stun, will even AMAZE you, so true believers, sit back and
  enjoy the ride.

  Introduction:

  
  As you may, or may not know, The Magic Gate supports EXternal MODuleS which
  can be written by anyone in any language whatsoever and you get to mess with
  drop files and writing your own routines for things I've already done.
  Don't get me wrong, that is the best route to go if you want to do something
  totally slick and new.  But if you don't need all the bells, whistles and
  power of say, Turbo Pascal, C++ etc, you can still add something 100% unique
  to your game.  The answer lies within the power of ASCII scripts which can
  be written with any word processor or text editor.  This is new as of
  version 1.02, but I have written several test scripts to test it as thorough
  as possible.  First I will go through the pre-defined variables and what
  they reference, then a list of predefined commands, using examples if I
  feel like it ;) etc... hopefully by the end you will understand enough of
  the language to write a script.  (I need to have more programmer friends,
  all of the friends I had look at this had their head explode... <G>)

  All about Variables:

  Variables are EVERYWHERE.  (Don't make me give examples..)  TMG Scripting
  Language (TMGSL?? whatever) has a bunch of variables, and a bunch of funny
  looking strings that represent variables.  There are 20 variables each,
  of 80 bytes (characters) in length which can be used to store both numerical
  and textual data (Don't ask me how it works, it just does).  As well as
  29 variables which are either 1 (On) or 0 (Off) or 2 (Maybe) (nevermind)...
  These variables, and their contents can be accessed via escape codes in
  the ASCII script file.  It's example time kiddies!  Okay, say you wanted
  to print how much gold the character currently had on him/her.  You would
  write a line in the script file that looked just like this:

    Writeln "Gold on Hand : ^CS18"

  Say the character had 386 gold on had, the line would look like this:

    Gold on Hand : 386

  Amazing, isn't it?  Don't worry about each command just yet, the variables
  are what is going to make the program go...  You can check the contents of
  variables conditionally as well.  You could check to see if the player had
  any creature fights and then perform a certain action easily by doing
  something like this:

    If ^CS26 > 0
      Writeln "You Have ^CS26 creature fights left today."
    Endif

  If the player doesn't have any forest fights left, then the Writeln statement
  will not be executed, and neither would enything before the Endif.
  
  Hopefully the fog is starting to lift from your brain and things have
  become much clearer.  No?  Well, this is only Page 2

  Variables of Gender :
  

  ^CA   Character Name
  ^CB   male/female, based on sex of character
  ^CC   son/daughter, based on sex of character
  ^CD   his/her, based on sex of character
  ^CE   he/she, based on sex of character
  ^CF   him/her, based on sex of character
  ^CG   sir/ma'am, based on sex of character
  
  ^DA   Name of Character's master
  ^DB   male/female, based on sex of characters master
  ^DC   son/daughter, based on sex of characters master
  ^DD   his/her, based on sex of characters master
  ^DE   he/she, based on sex of characters master
  ^DF   him/her, based on sex of characters master
  ^DG   sir/ma'am, based on sex of characters master
  
  Using just these variables, you can make menus look gramatically correct
  for EVERY character.  Say you wanted to have a few lines of text, whether
  its in a menu, or in Write/Writeln statements, that gives the person the
  idea that they are going up to their master and kneeling at his/her feet.
  Do something Just like this:

    Writeln "  You go up to ^DA and kneel at ^DD feet."
    Writeln "  ^DA acknowledges you and says :"
    Writeln "  'What can I do for you my ^CC?'"

  Lets use Martissa as your master, mastissa is female.  You are Bob, you are
  male.  These 3 lines would look like this:

     You go up to Martissa and kneel at her feet.
     Martissa acknowledges you and says :
     'What can I do for you my son?'

  The pronouns will change based on gender and all that good gramatically
  correct stuff.
  That's some pretty nifty stuff, but it doesn't just stop there... I am
  sure you will need to do a few more things with characters information 
  aside from what their gender is.

  About Character Related Variables:
  
  All of the following commands will give you some sort of information
  about the character.  This all can be used just as has been described
  before.  These can also be modified using the commands in the script.
  (Like ADD and SET).  Obviously, string variables cannot be added to, but
  can still be SET, (using SETSTR).  I don't allow scripts to change :
  A.)Characters Real Name, or B.)Characters Level in any way shape or form.
  Some of these variables I don't allow a SET command to be used on simply
  because I'd rather you just Added to and subtracted from.  There are only
  three (Attack,Defense, and Damage Reduction) so when you go to 
  
  Set ^CS03 4500 
  
  and it doesn't do anything, you'll know why.  The following is legal, though
  
  Add ^CS03 4500 
  
  It will add 4500 to attack, so I'm relying on you script writers not to 
  make the game too easy.
  
  
  Some of the variables work differently whether you are modifying it or just
  displaying it.  The variable for guild is a good example.
  
  ^CS09 Will give you the name of the guild when used in a Write/Writeln
        but the guild number is used everywhere else ^CS09 is found.  

        Refer to the next page for details on all the variables.

            You cannot modify this variable at all.
            Can only use in a Write type command or comparison.
  ^CS03   Attack Value
            You cannot use the Set command on this variable
  ^CS04   Defense Value
            You cannot use the Set command on this variable

  ^CS09   * Guild*
            When used in a Writeln, it will display the name of the guild.
            You cannot use the Add command on this variable
            When used in a Set, it is the guild # (Included in case you want
            your script to say kick a character out of their guild, or only
            allow guilded characters into a certain area)
  ^CS10   Hit Points (Curr)
  ^CS11   Hit Points (Max)
  ^CS12   Current attack value of Equipped Weapon  (See ^CS29 for max)
            Note : Increasing Weapon Value does not increase Attack Value
  ^CS13   Name of currently Equipped Weapon
  ^CS14   Current defense value of Equipped Armor  (See ^CS30 for max)
            Note : Increasing Armor Value does not increase Defense Value
  ^CS15   Name of currently Equipped Weapon

  ^CS23   # of Skill Uses Curr
  ^CS24   # of Skill Uses Max
  ^CS25   *Characters Current location*
            When used in a Writeln, the first character is ignored as it is
            used to denote what type of zone the character is in.
            You cannot use the Add or Set command on this variable
            When used in a Location command, you must include the zone type
            character (i.e. you would have Location "gGraveyard of Souls" as 
            opposed to Location "Graveyard", it just wouldn't display right)

  ^CS30   Maximum defense value of Equipped Armor  (See ^CS30 for curr)
            Note : Increasing Armor Value does not increase Defense Value
  ^CS31   Maximum resistance value of Equipped Shield  (See ^CS31 for curr)

  About Script Related Variables:

  What is a program that doesn't communicate with itself?  If it doesn't know
  if you've opened the door, how is it supposed to know whether or not you can 
  go through it?  Script Related variables fill this gap quite nicely.  You 
  should have more than enough variables to do whatever you need to do in a 
  script.
  
  There are 20 variables that can be displayed/set/setstr/add/mult whatever
  you want to do til your heart's content.  Each variable can contain up to
  80 bytes, which is more than plenty for any number you may want to store,
  or just right if it is going to be used for output to the player.
  
  There are 29 more variables that are either 0 or 1 (False or True) (boolean
  if that means anything to you) that can be used as flags to let the script
  know that something has been performed (without having to waste a ton of
  variable space on it).
  
  The script related variables are accessed just like character based
  variables except they all start with ^VR.

  ^VR01 Script Variable #1
  ^VR02 Script Variable #2
  ....
  ....
  ^VR19 Script Variable #19
  ^VR20 Script Variable #20

  Note again that you must have a leading 0 for 01-09.  Well, those aren't
  the only variables that start with ^VR.... there are really  more variables
  that have the prefix ^VR... They are special in that you cannot use them
  in the Set/Setstr/Add/Mult command.  They contain certain parameters about
  the game that have been set.  As you will learn, script files can read in
  external creature files.  The script knows which file to read by reading
  the command : CreatureFile NAME.EXT somewhere in the script file (I would
  suggest putting it in the @#Define section (which you will learn about
  later).  That creature file-name is stored as ^VR22.  There is a command
  called DefaultCommand that is used to set up what input defaults to when
  a prompt comes up.  Say you perfrom a DefaultCommand L.  Anytime thereafter
  a prompt comes up, if the player just hits enter, the input will actually
  be L.  This will be the case until the DefaultCommand is called again.
  The default command is stored in ^VR21.  To sum it up, the "special"
  variables are :

  ^VR21   The current default command.
            This command is set using the DefaultCommand command
  ^VR22   The current creature file to read creatures from.
            This command is set using the CreatureFile command
  ^VR23   Stores the Character Boolean flags.  (See the ^GF variables)
  ^VR24   The current menu file to read menus from.
            This command is set using the MenuFile command
  ^VR25   The current item file to read items from.
            This command is set using the ItemFile command

  Note : These commands can only be used in a Write/Writeln/ or comparison.
  (See the corresponding command in the commands section for more details)

  About Boolean Variables:
  
  Remember I talked about those variables that could be 0 or 1?  Well, I call
  those Game Flags, hence the reason they are accessed using the ^GF prefix.
  There are currently 29 of those available (believe it or not, that is not
  just an arbitrary number).  These can be used for numerous things.  I use
  them to tell the script whether the player has performed a certain action
  or not.  Like for instance, whether they have examined the door in the room
  or not (hint if you need it in The Crypt of Lord Hamilton)...
  This type of variable cannot be used in Add/Setstr, but can be used in
  Set/Write/Writeln/or comparisons.  Note, that it can only be set to 0 or 1.
  Note again that you must have a leading 0 for 01-09.

  ^GF01 Game Flag #1
  ^GF02 Game Flag #2
  ....
  ....
  ^GF28 Game Flag #28
  ^GF29 Game Flag #29

  Any ^GF variable can only be 0 or 1 (maybe 2, but I wouldn't push it, the
  computer may decide it doesn't want to compute anymore ;)

  ÄÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÄ
  About Boolean Variables - The Character Flags :

  Each character has a series of flags that the game keeps track of (29
  to be exact... hmmm, haven't I seen 29 of something before? hint : 29
  is the limit of booleans available in a longint :)  Anyway, these are
  alot like the Game Flags I just talked about, except that these are used
  by the main portion of the game as well, and stored in the character
  file.  There really isn't a need to be setting these, but it is okay to
  look at them (to see if say, the character is drunk ;) and use them in
  a script.  They are accessed using the ^CX prefix.  This variable will
  be either a 0 or a 1.  Note, a leading zero is necessary for 01-09.

  ^CX01 Character Flag #1
  ^CX02 Character Flag #2
  ....
  ....
  ^CX28 Character Flag #28
  ^CX29 Character Flag #29

  ÄÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÄ
  Construction of a script:

  Scripts are pretty easy-going as far as layout goes.  The sections do
  not need to be in a particular order, upper/lowercase is ignored for 
  section names and variables etc.  Sections are defined in the script
  file by putting the characters @# at the start of a line and the section
  name of the script immediately following.  If I wanted a section for
  fighting creatures in my script, I might call it Fight and would therefore
  have a section in my script defined as the following :

  @#Fight

  To designate the end of the file, put a @# as the last line in the script.
  While the physical order of the sections in the script file has no bearing
  on its functionality, there is a certain order of execution that is built
  into the interpretter.  The script begins execution by looking for the
  @#DEFINE section.  It is not necessary to have a define section, but this
  section is special in that it is only looked at once, and therefore, any
  variables that are to be used to keep track of something important should
  be initialized here.  Also, using the Location <name> command in the define
  section is a good idea so that the character doesn't appear to be stuck at
  the town square <G>.  I would also set the inital CreatureFile here so you
  don't forget to do it.

  There are some section names that have a special meaning to the script
  language.  I've already mentioned the define section.  The Define section
  is the first section the game looks at in a script.  After it reads and
  executes all the commands in the Define section, it jumps to the section
  in the script with the name "Main" (without the quotes) and begins the
  main section of the game.  
  
  NOTE : Every section in the script file that is to be executed can be
  thought of as a never-ending loop, and without a return or a halt command 
  somewhere within the section, you will never leave it. (exception @#DEFINE)

  *** NEW 1.07 ***
  As of version 1.07, the MagiCfg program contains a new section used for
  ExMod additions and removals and modifications.  It is possible to add any
  program under the TMG directory to the 'Other Realms' menu using this
  feature.  In addition, built in is the ability to read either the script
  or a special description file to retrieve both the name of the ExMod and
  the description and add those to the Other Realms menu.  To accomplish this
  within a script is simple.  Add a section to the script that looks like
  the following example:

  @#INSTALL
  <The name of the script goes on the first line>
  <The description of the script continues after that>
  <...>
  <...>
  <End of description>
  @#OTHER_SECTIONS

  SCRIPTS.DOC                                                        Page  9
  ÄÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÄ

  It is nearly as easy to do this for programs that do not end in .SCR which
  include compiled scripts, Executable programs and/or batch files.  Create
  a file with the same name as your program but use a .DSC extension.  Within
  that file include the following:

  @#INSTALL
  <The name of the script goes on the first line>
  <The description of the script continues after that>
  <...>
  <...>
  <End of description>
  @#

  Looks just like the example for the scripts because it actually reads it
  the exact same way.  If this method was not included with a ExMod then
  it installs the ExMod with a generic name and no description.  These can
  then be easily modified.

  ÄÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÄ
  @#MONSTER

  Another section name the game could look into is @#MONSTER which is where
  you define any monsters internal to the script.

  NOTE : Using internal creatures is the only way to guarantee exactly which
  creature a character will fight at any given time, so if you have a "boss"
  at the end of your script, make him/her an internal creature.

  The following is how you would define an internal creature.  The second 
  word on any of the lines must be the creatures internal number (The number
  you pass to Combat when you want the player to fight an internal monster.

  STATS <num> <attack> <defense> <shield> <exp> <gold> <hit points> <level>
  NAME  <num> "<Monsters Name>"
  WNAME <num> "<Monsters Weapon Name>"
  ANAME <num> "<Monsters Armor Name>"
  DEATH <num> "<Monsters Death Line>"

  Those lines do not have to be in any particular order (I just remember them
  that way ;) But you must have all 5 lines present to get a complete monster.

  @#ITEMS

  As of Version 1.07, there is another "special" section in a script file :
  @#ITEMS
  This is where you will define all the items that are going to be given away
  in your script.

  The following is how you would define an item.  The second  word on any of
  the lines must be the items number (The number you pass to Item when you
  want to give that item to the player).  These numbers have no meaning at
  all outside the script, it is just for internal reference.

  NAME  <num> "<Item Name>"
  SCRID <num> "<Item ScriptID>"
  STAT1 <num> attack maxattack cost charges wear_location
  STAT2 <num> required_level item_flags identified?

  Item Definitions:

  Okay, and so you know what those values should be, here are their
  definitions.
    Item Name - This is the name the character sees in his inventory and is
             used for all display purposes.
    Item ScriptID - This is a unique code that you (the creator) assign to
             the item you create.  This is what it will be referenced with
             in the database file.  The standard formula for this should
             be as follows:  LLLL-MMDDYYYY-LL-L
               LLLL is 4 characters to identify the item
               MM is the 2 digit month the item was created
               DD is the 2 digit day of the month the item was created
               YYYY is the 4 digit year the item was created
               LL are the creators initials
               L is either Y or N - Y allows other items to access your items
                scripts as if they were its own. N means nothing else can use
                the scripts for this item.
    Attack - The value the item adds to your combat value.  This is the
             attack value for weapons, defense for armor, and damage resistance
             for shields.  This should be 0 for all non weapon/armor/shields.
    MaxAttack - The maximum value the item can add to your combat value.
             (see Attack above for more information as well.)
    Cost -   What you would pay for this item if you were to buy it in one
             of the shops. (also what selling it is based upon)
    Charges - This is how many times the item can be used.  Charges are
             subtracted from the item on any "USE", "ONDEATH", or "USECOMBAT"
             When the last charge is used, that fires the "LASTUSE" script
             if the item has one
    Wear_Location - What type of item is this, and where can I equip it?
             This will be a number that corresponds to one of the following:

                 1 -    Head                    6 -     Feet
                 2 -    Neck                    7 -     Weapon

                 2 -    Silver (useful against werewolves etc)
                 4 -    Magic +1 (certain monsters require at least a magical
                 8 -    Magic +2  item to be hit.  Monsters will have the
                 16 -   Magic +3  same flags for to be hit.)
                 (more to come)

    Identified - Does the character recognize this item for what it is as
             soon as he/she gets it, or do they need to Identify it?
             Values for this are:
                 0 -    Not Identified          1 -     Identified

  Setting up Item Scripts:

  There are currently 10 different actions you can apply to your items.
  They are in their own section of the script denoted with the following
  syntax
  @#ITEM<NUM>_<ACTION>
    ......
    ......
  @#ITEM<NUM>_<ACTION>
    etc..

  Where NUM is the item number as it is defined in the @#ITEMS section
  (NAME 1 "Sword of Killing" would be designated as @#ITEM1_<ACTION>)
  and where <ACTION> is on what type of event the script for that section
  goes off.  The list of Actions is as follows :

        WEAR           *ONATTACK                USECOMBAT
        USE            *ONDAMAGE                IDENTIFY
        REMOVE        **ONDEATH                 LASTUSE
        DROP

  *This command is not yet implemented, but here to show how much can be
   done with the system
 **This command currently only triggers on death in a creature fight (not
   a master level up fight or a player fight)

  Example of a Potion of Healing:
  @#ITEMS
    NAME  1 "`2Potion of Healing"
    SCRID 1 "PofH-04111997-JO-N"
    STAT1 1 0 0 2500 1 10

    Writeln "`3  You take a drink of the Potion of Healing and a warm fire"
    Writeln "shoots through your body.  It magically heals your wounds and"
    Writeln "completely heals you."
    Set ^CS10 ^CS11
  @#ITEM1_USECOMBAT

    Writeln "  the potion is used."
    Writeln "`9  (`%Heals all wounds`9)"
  @#ITEM1_LASTUSE
    Writeln "`9  (`%The vial is now empty`9)"

  This item would have the following information:

  the way they are accessed.  A Menu is brought to the user and displayed
  through use of the Menu command, a sub-section is made current with the
  Gosub/Return Command.

    Add
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      Add <Variable> <Amount>

  Description : Adds the amount specified in the second parameter to
                the variable specified in the first parameter.

  Notes :       <Variable> can be any type of variable from the ^VR
                or ^CS fields that contains an integer value.  There
                are also a few other fields which are excluded.
                <Amount> can be a literal (i.e. 2, 8, 32000 etc.) or
                it can be a variable from the ^VR or ^CS or ^GF
                fields that contains an integer value.  A negative
                sign in front of the literal, or variable will tell
                the routine to SUBTRACT the amount from the variable.

  Exclusions :  <Variable> cannot be :
                ^CS01 ^CS02 ^CS09 ^CS13 ^CS15 ^CS17 ^CS22 ^CS25

  Examples :
                Add ^CS18 320
                Add ^CS10 -5
                Add ^CS10 -^VR03 (Assuming ^VR03 has an integer in it)
                Add ^VR18 ^CS26


    Combat
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      Combat <Variable> Int/Ext | <Creature Number>

  Description : Puts the player into combat versus a creature.
                Saves the result of the combat in <Variable>.
                Variable will be :
                 0  :  Character ran away from creature.
                 1  :  Character defeated creature.
                 2  :  No creature was available (level/<num> error)

  Notes :       This is the one routine where you can have a
                ^GF variable equal to 2.  I would not suggest
                doing it on a frequent basis, but, it does the job.
                Int/Ext, set to Int and include the
                <Creature Number> to have the creature the player
                fights to be a specific creature in the @#MONSTERS
                section of the script file.  Set to Ext to have
                the script pick a random monster of the players
                level from the filename stored using CreatureFile.

  Exclusions :  Don't use any of the ^CS variables as the <Variable>
                That's just asking for trouble.

  Examples :    
                Combat ^VR19 Ext
                Combat ^GF26 Ext
                Combat ^GF29 Int 1
                Combat ^VR14 Int 8

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      CreatureFile <FileName>

  Description : Assigns the external file to read creatures from
                when a Combat Ext command is executed.

  Notes :       Usually this will not change throughout the course
                of the script.  I recommend putting this command
                in the @#Define section of the script to avoid
                executing it every loop.

  Examples :    
                CreatureFile FOREST.DAT
                CreatureFile CRYPT.DAT

    
    DefaultCommand
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      DefaultCommand <Command>

  Description : Assigns what command is chosen when the player
                strikes enter at the input lines thereafter.

  Notes :       <Command> can be any variable, including menu
                commands ^MC##, ^GF##, ^CS##, ^VR##.  If the
                default command is set to more than one character
                and a ReadChar is encountered, only the first
                character in <Command> will be executed.

  Examples :    
                DefaultCommand L
                DefaultCommand ^MC02
                DefaultCommand ^CS18
                  (Will make the default command the amount of
                   gold they have on them (good for donations))
                DefaultCommand ^VR12


    DisplayCreatures
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      DisplayCreatures

  Description : This command will bring up a display of all the
                creatures currently loaded into the script.

  Notes :       This command is here for test purposes really.
                Use it when you want to see what creatures are
                available for the combat routine
                (Currently only works with EXTernal creatures)

  Description : This command will bring up a display of all the
                statistics of the game, saved in the MAGISTAT.DAT
                file.

  Notes :       This command includes most any stat about the game
                you would want or need to know, including how many
                characters are in the game, deletion period etc.

  Syntax :      DisplayMenu

  Description : This command will display the menu loaded into
                into the current section of the script to the player.

  Notes :       This command is best used after the ReadMenuCommands
                command in an If statement.  I have always used ?
                as the command to redisplay the menu
                
  Example :     
                Menu Main_menu
                ReadMenuCommands ^VR01
                If ^VR01 == ?

  Description : This command is used to display the rankings of
                the players to the player.

  Notes :       This is a call to the same command the main part
                of the game calls.  I would use an R as the command
                to display the ranks.

  Example :     
                Menu Main_menu
                ReadMenuCommands ^VR01
                If ^VR01 == R

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      DisplayScriptInfo

  Description : This command should be used for debugging a script.
                It will display the section of the script it is
                currently running, the creature file, the current
                default command and the contents of the 49 variables.

  Note :        Do not include this in the final version of the
                script as it could give a player quite a bit of
                insight into the script (which it does give)


    DisplayScriptText
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      DisplayScriptText

  Description : This command should be used for debugging a script. 
                It will display the actual text in that section of
                the script.

  Note :        Do not include this in the final version of the
                script as it could give a player a look at all of
                the commands in the current section.  This is good
                for figuring out if something is out of place in
                the script.

  Example :     
                Menu Main_menu
                ReadMenuCommands ^VR01
                If ^VR01 == -

  Syntax :      DisplayStats

  Description : This command is used to display the statistics
                of the character to the player.

  Notes :       This is a call to the same command the main part
                of the game calls.  I would use a V as the command
                to display the stats.

  Example :     
                Menu Main_menu
                ReadMenuCommands ^VR01
                If ^VR01 == V

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      FindPlayers

  Description : This command is used to display the current
                location of all players currently in the game.

  Notes :       This is a call to the same command the main part
                of the game calls.  I would use a F as the command
                to display the stats.

  Example :     
                Menu Main_menu
                ReadMenuCommands ^VR01
                If ^VR01 == F

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      Gosub <SectionName>

  Description : This command is used to jump from one section
                in the script file to another.

  Notes :       This is a great way to seperate "rooms" in the
                game, or put a commonly used set of commands in
                its own section and have whatever needs to access
                it call it with a Gosub/Return (see the corresponding
                section on Return as well).  Be sure not to gosub to
                a section you have written as a menu section.

  Example :     
                Menu Main_menu
                ReadMenuCommands ^VR01
                If ^VR01 == D
                  Gosub DoSomething
                Endif
                If ^VR01 == K
                  Gosub KillSomething

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      GotoXY <X coord.> <Y coord.>

  Description : This command jumps the cursor to the screen
                coordinates specified in the X and Y coords.

  Note :        This can be used to make screens with text
                placed anywhere necessary without using a
                ton of Writeln "" 's.

  Example :     GotoXY 1 1
                This will take the cursor to the home position.

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      Halt

  Description : This command is used to stop the execution
                of the script.

  Notes :       Halt can be placed anywhere in the script as
                well as as many occurances of it as are necessary.


    Healer
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      Healer

  Description : This command will take the character to the
                healers hut and return them exactly where they
                were when they entered.

  Notes :       This is a call to the same command the main part
                of the game calls.


    If/EndIf
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      If <variable1> <operator> <variable2>

  Description : These commands are used to make a decision within
                the script.

  Notes :       This command is a major portion of what a script 
                does.  It can determine what letter is stored
                within a certain variable, whether a characters 
                hit points/level/luck is equal to or less than, or
                greater than a certain number/variable.
                Variables of all types are allowed on BOTH sides of
                the operator.
                Operater is one of the following

                If a == b       a is equal to b
                If a <> b       a is not equal to b
                If a >= b       a is greater than or equal to b
                If a <= b       a is less than or equal to b
                If a > b        a is greater than b
                If a < b        a is less than b

                Note that there must be 3 seperate "words" on the
                line (A space must exist between the variables and the
                operator)

                If a statement is found to be true, everything until the
                next EndIf is executed.  If it is false, the script finds
                the command immediately following the next EndIf and begins
                executing from that point onward.

  Notes :       If can be used to compare all manners of variables,
                whether they contain numbers or strings, it will 
                work with it.  Be warned though, the only operators
                that you should used with string are the == and the <>.
                You can use the other operators with strings, but
                if you are not sure of what you are doing, you may
                get unexepected results.

  Example :     Menu MainMenu
                ReadMenuCommands ^VR01
                Writeln "^VR01"
                If ^VR01 == A

  Syntax :      Inventory

  Description : This command brings up the (Y)our Inventory screen that
                is accessible from the main menu and allows you to identify,
                equip, remove, and drop items.

  Notes :       This command should be accessible from any main menu within
                a script file.

    Item
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      Item <Item Number> [NODISPLAY]

  Description : This command gives the character the item in the script
                that is specified by <Item Number>.

  Notes :       This item must exist in the @#ITEMS section of the script
                or the @#ITEMS section of the file specified in the ItemFile
                command (see ItemFile).  If the item has never been given out
                before, the game will create an Item Registry entry for it in
                ITEMS.DAT and will create the script to go along with the item
                in the items/ subdirectory.  See the section on Item Definition
                for full details on how to create the item definition
                a script file.
                If you put a NODISPLAY as the second parameter (after the
                item number), TMG will _NOT_ output anything to the user,
                but will let your script do all of that.

  Example :
                Item 1
                Item ^VR04
                Item 3 NODISPLAY

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      ItemFile <FileName>

  Description : Assigns the external file to read item from when an
                Item command is issued (see Item)

  Notes :       Usually this will not change throughout the course
                of the script.  I recommend putting this command
                in the @#Define section of the script to avoid
                executing it every loop.

  Examples :    
                ItemFile FOREST.ITM
                ItemFile CRYPT.ITM

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      Location "<location name>"

  Description : This command sets the characters location to whatever
                is contained within the quotation marks.

  Notes :       The area type character must be included in this command.
                The available area type characters are :
                
                B       -Generic Building               C       -Cave
                D       -Dungeon                        F       -Forest
                G       -Graveyard                      H       -Guild Hall
                K       -Castle                         M       -Mountains
                R       -Road                           S       -Shop
                T       -Town                           I       -Inventory

                The Location of the character can change as often as
                you need it to.  This can be useful in case you are writing
                a script as say a forest, and you have a main boss that you
                want the all character to fight without the special ranger
                power for the forest, set the location (temporarily) to
                "T<script name>" and the power will be disabled.

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

                ....
                ....
                EndMail

  Description : This sequence of commands is used to put mail in the
                file for the character specified in <to> from <from>
                with <Mailbody> as the text and execute whatever
                commands are in the <Commnads> section.

  Notes :       The <To> portion of the mail command can only be one
                word.  This shouldn't be a problem since you will more
                than likely be using a variable for that.  The <from>
                portion, however, does not have that limitation.  <from>
                can be a variable, it can be a literal, and does not
                need enclosing quotation marks.  I picture using a variable
                here most often as well.
    
  Example :     Mail ^CS01 System Message :
                `9You have been penalized by the gods for your insubordination.
                `9You lose EVERYTHING!

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      Menu <MenuName>

  Description : This command sets a certain section of the script file
                as the menu to be displayed to the character for the
                section of the script the game is currently executing.

  Notes :       Make sure you don't set an executable section of the
                script as a menu in the game (would look a bit silly
                to the user ;)

  Example :     Menu FOREST_TREES
                Menu Enter_Building

    MenuFile
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      MenuFile <FileName>

  Description : Assigns the external file to read menus from
                when a menu command is executed.

  Notes :       Usually this will not change throughout the course
                of the script.  This variable defaults to the script
                file itself, so if you put all of your menus in the main
                script file, you should not set this.

  Examples :    
                MenuFile FOREST.MNU
                MenuFile CRYPT.MNU

  Syntax :      MessageBoard <Number> <Title of Board>

  Description : This command will allow the user to read and post messages
                on a bulletin board.

  Notes :       The number is the key as to which bulletin board it is,
                not the Title.  Each of the numbers (1-99) creates a
                unique bulletin board for that script.  If you want people
                to be able to read and post to the same bulletin board from
                two different locations, you just make sure they have the
                same number

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      MonsterAvailable <Variable>

  Description : This command sets the variable to a 1 if there is a
                monster available in the CreatureFile of the same level
                as the character, and a 0 if there is not.

  Notes :       If no creature file has been set, this command will
                always set the variable to 0 (since the won't be ANY
                monsters in the file).  This is a good way of determining
                if the character is in the proper area for a character of
                his/her level.

  Example :     
                MonsterAvailable ^GF28
                If ^GF28 == 1
                  Combat ^GF29 Ext

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      Mult <Variable> <number>

  Description : This command is used to multiply a variable by a certain
                number, and store the results back in the variable.

  Notes :       The number portion of the command can also be a variable
                of any type.  Note that this command will overwrite the
                number existing in the variable.  If a string is set in
                either of the variables, the result will be 0.

  Example :     
                Set ^VR02 5
                Mult ^VR02 ^CS22
                Writeln "Your level *5 = ^VR02"

  Syntax :      Pause

  Description : This command is used to print the Hit Any Key message to
                the user and suspend execution until a key is pressed.

  Notes :       This is a call to the same command the main part
                of the game calls.  I would use it so a user can
                read anything you put on the screen before you clear
                it.

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      Random <Variable> <number>

  Description : This commad is used to generate a random number from
                1 - <number> and store is in <Variable>.

  Notes :       The number portion of the command can also be a variable
                of any type.  Note that this command will overwrite the
                number existing in the variable.  If a string is set in
                the <number> section, the result will be 0.

  Example :     Random ^VR04 ^CS22
                (Picks a random number from 1-character level and stores
                it in ^VR04)


    ReadChar
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      ReadChar <Variable>

  Description : This command stops and waits for the user to press a
                key, and then stores that character in <Variable>

  Notes :       The input is disconnected from what type of character
                the user hits.  If they put in a number, the operations
                dealing with numbers will work on it and if they put in
                a string, the operations dealing with numbers will not
                work on it.

  Example :     ReadChar ^VR02
                If ^VR02 == C
                  Writeln "You pressed C"
                Endif

    ReadLine
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      ReadLine <Variable>

  Description : This command stops and waits for the user to enter
                a line of text and press enter, and then stores that
                line of text in <Variable>

  Notes :       The input is disconnected from what type of line the
                user enters.  See the notes on ReadChar for exact details.

  Example :     DefaultCommand ^CS18
                Write "How Many Gold Pieces to Donate? [^VR21] : "
                ReadLine ^VR03
                If ^VR03 > 0
                  If ^VR03 < ^CS18
                    Add ^VR19 ^VR03
                    Add ^CS18 -^VR03
                  Endif
                Endif

    ReadMenuCommands
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      ReadMenuCommands <Variable>

  Description : This command first displays the commands that were
                read in from the menu command, then displays the
                Command : prompt along with the DefaultCommand then
                stops and waits for the user to press a key and
                stores that character in <Variable>

  Notes :       This should go shortly after the Menu Command in the
                section of the script.  Other than what it prints out,
                the ReadChar command does the same function.
                This command does NOT print out the character it reads.

  Example :     
                Menu MAIN_MENU
                DefaultCommand L
                ReadMenuCommands ^VR01
                Writeln "^VR01"
                If .....
                ....
                Endif

    ReDispMenu
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      ReDispMenu <TRUE/FALSE>

  Description : This command affects whether a menu is shown to a
                character or not the next time the MENU command is
                executed.

  Notes :       By default, every time the Menu command is executed,
                the menu specified is displayed to the user.  The
                exception to this rule is when a section "bounces", 
                meaning when it gets to the end of the section and
                goes back up to the top, the menu command is ignored.
                When a Gosub/Return sequence is executed, the menu 
                will be re-read AND re-displayed after the "bounce".
                To prevent this from redisplaying, you would use
                a ReDisplMenu FALSE before the return.

  Example :     
                @#FIGHT
                  Writeln ""
                  Writeln "You find nothing to fight"
                  ReDispMenu FALSE
                  Return
                @#MAIN
                Menu MAIN_MENU
                ReadMenuCommands ^VR01
                If ^VR01 == S
                  Gosub Fight
                Endif

    Return
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      Return

  Description : This command is the partner of Gosub.  It will take
                the scripts execution back to the next command in
                the calling section and continue execution from that
                point.

  Notes :       Remember to include this command.  Without it, the called
                section will repeat forever.  Note : It is NOT necessary
                to return back to the main loop before calling Halt.

    Set
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      Set <Variable> <number>

  Description : This command takes whatever is in number and stores that
                value in <Variable>

  Notes :       The number portion of the command can also be a variable
                of any type.  Note that if the variable contains multiple
                words (A long string for example), the variable will be
                set to only the first word in the string (Use the SetStr
                command instead).
  Example :     
                Set ^VR02 4
                Set ^VR03 ^CS18
                Set ^VR04 ^VR20
                Set ^GF 1
                Set ^CS18 0


    SetStr
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      SetStr <Variable> "<Text>"

  Description : This command takes whatever <Text> is (containing multiple
                words if necessary) and stores it in <Variable>

  Notes :       The <Text> portion of the command can contain any
                combination of literals and variables, as the variables
                will be expanded to their stored value.
                Note : The maximum length of a variable is 80 characters.
                The string is stored exactly as you type it, and any
                variables are calculated when the line is printed out or
                something is done with it, so the same line can be used
                without having to Re-Set it every time.

  Example :     
                SetStr ^VR02 "You have ^CS10 Hit Points Left"
                SetStr ^VR03 "^CS01 is a stud!"

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      SharedEvent <Event Number> | 0

  Description : This command causes a special event written into the
                compiled code of the game to occur.

  Notes :       This will become useful as the game expands and more
                events become available.  This is here now so that the
                old man in the wagon can be available in any scenario.
                Passing 0 as the event number will have it choose one
                at random.

  Events :      1       Old Man in Wagon

  Example :
                If ^VR01 == S
                  If ^CS26 > 0
                    SharedEvent 1

  Syntax :      Write "<Text to Display>"

  Description : This command will display the text between the quotation
                marks to the user's screen, without a newline or a
                carriage return.

  Notes :       Useful in conjunction with the ReadChar function for
                one-key input.

  Example :
                @#Ask
                  DefaultCommand Y
                  Write "  `9Leave Game, are you sure? (Y/N) [^VR21] : "
                  Readchar ^VR01
                  If ^VR01 == Y
                    Halt
                  Endif

  Syntax :      Writeln "<Text to Display>"

  Description : This command will display the text between the quotation
                marks to the user's screen, followed by a newline and a
                carriage return.

  Notes :       Useful when displaying a line or two of text to the player
                where there are few things on each line.

  Example :
                If ^VR02 == CRACK
                  Writeln "`!  You bend down and examine the cracks in"
                  Writeln "  the crypt.  There seems to be nothing there"

  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      WriteBlock
                <.. Text to Display ..>
                <.. More Text ..>
                EndBlock

  Description : This command will display the text between the Starting
                WriteBlock and the EndBlock command.

  Notes :       Useful when displaying many lines of text to the player.
                Text is sent _exactly_ as you type it, including any leading
                spaces in the code.

  Example :
                WriteBlock
`c  `9You have entered the crypt of the deceased former Lord of Shamile `%:
`4  Lord Hamilton`9.  Lord Hamilton was the most influential and extravagant
`9  ruler Shamile has ever seen.  It is rumored that he made a pact with the
`9  devil himself to win himself popularity, riches and influence.  Noone is
`9  still alive who can tell all of the machinations of his time, but several
`9  journals have been unaccounted for.  The town sages claim that these tombs
`9  have within their walls hidden compartments which hide the very items that
`9  may reveal a little more about Lord Hamilton''s past and whether his pact
`9  with the devil is what has brought about this plague on the realm.

    AddFlag
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      AddFlag <Name_of_Flag> <Value_of_Flag> <reset_value> <type>

  Description : This command will set a semi-permanent flag on the character,
                script, or game that is written to a file for saving.

  Notes :       There are so many uses for this, its only limit is your
                creativity.  It can be used to tie two ExMODs together by
                having a character bring an object (saved as a flag) from one
                script to a NPC in another!  It can also be used to make
                your ExMOD visitable only once by a character per day (with
                the use of the reset_value set to daily and having the script
                set a flag to the character when they come in the first time
                and have it halt if the flag has already been set the next
                time they come in!)

                Name_of_Flag and Value_of_Flag must be a single word
                (i.e. NO SPACES!) use the underscore (_) to seperate words
                in it if you use them.

                The <type> of flag specifies how it is accessed.
                Type can have the following values:

                Value:          Where Located:
                ------------------------------------
                  M               On the main portion of the game
                  S               On only your script file
                  C               On the character

                Where the flag is located restricts what can or cannot access
                that flag.  If you were to place it on the main portion of the
                game, any script/EXMOD could access it, and it should be
                available for all characters (i.e. nothing character specific)
                If you were to place it on only your script file, only your
                script could access it, and, again, it should be available for
                all characters.  If you place it on the character, then, that
                flag becomes available for all scripts/EXMOD's to use, but it
                is only available when it is that character performing the
                actions.

                Reset value determines when the flag gets removed.
                It can have the following values:

                Value:          When Removed:
                ------------------------------------
                  0               When the character dies*
                  1               Daily
                  2               Only by a RemoveFlag command
                *Only usable if the type is set to C - character.

                Using a reset_value of 0 is a good idea for flags to
                represent things like items carried, information learned, or
                anything that would seem reasonable.

  Command Descriptions :

    AddFlag (cont.)

                A use of the daily reset type is some action should only occur
                once per day, if it is something that a character can solve,
                or a daily winner of the lottery, then use this reset type.

                The reset_value of 2 is a special one as it will only go away
                if a script calls a RemoveFlag on that exact variable (or in
                the case of placing it on a character, it will go away when the
                character gets deleted by daily maintenance), so its uses
                should be restricted to things that should be maintained over
                a period of time.  Curses (for characters), the name of the
                kings favored adventurer or the name of the character who has
                solved your adventure the most.  These are the variables
                that are significant people and values and for characters,
                things that are _SO_ significant that even death itself should
                not remove this flag.

                Flag naming convention:
                Use a unique word that is associated with your script as the
                first word, then use an underscore and then the name of the
                flag i.e.
                CRYPT_FOUND_KEY
                CRYPT_OPENED_WALL

    RemoveFlag
  ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
  Syntax :      RemoveFlag <Name_of_Flag> <type>

  Description : This command will remove a flag that has been set on the
                character.

  Notes :       This is the only way to remove a flag that was set with the
                reset value set to 2.  It can also be used when a quest is
                complete to remove all flags that were used in the quest.

                The <type> of flag specifies where to remove the flag from.
                Type can have the following values:

                Value:          Where to Remove From:
                ------------------------------------
                  M               From the main portion of the game

  Syntax :      FlagValue <Variable> <Name_of_Flag> <type>

  Description : This command will return the value of a flag from the
                characters file and assign it into the variable specified
                in <Varialbe>

  Notes :       This is how you can do tests to see if a character or
                a script or the main portion of the game has a
                particular flag set, and if so, what the value is.
                If the desired type has the flag, the value is placed into the
                ^VR type variable specified.  If it does not exist, a value
                of -1 is placed into the variable.

                The <type> of flag specifies where to look to get the value.
                Type can have the following values:
