-For more elaborate descriptions you can use the game's built in editor, lsedit. You need to tell it the name of the file you want to store the text in, such as 'mydesc'. For this example the command is <code class="muck">lsedit me=mydesc</code>. Then to assign your newly created description to yourself you'd use the command <code class="muck">@desc me={list:mydesc}</code> As this is a rather complicated method, we do not recommend this to starting players. However, this will let you add things like paragraph indents and custom text colors. Please see the help screen inside lsedit or speak to a member of staff if you have any questions.

 ===Public Chat Channels===
 You can also use these same commands to speak on our Public and Guests channels simply by adding the channel alias (public is pub. Guest is +g) before you speak. Additionally you don't have to use an open quote when speaking on these channels.

 Look is about the most basic command on a MU* aside from using say. The command is <code class="muck">look</code> followed by the name of the object you want to look at. Looking at a room will tell you what the room looks like. Looking at a player will show you a description of the character if they have one set. You can also abbreviate look by typing only the first letter.
