Name Tell
Type Method
Summary Sends a message to the output window - not terminated by a newline
Prototype void Tell(BSTR Message);
Description This makes a note in the output window. It is not transmitted to the world. It is useful for making comments to yourself. The note is NOT automatically terminated by a newline, so you can use Tell multiple times on one line (eg. to change colour in mid-line).

The note appears in the current NoteColour (a custom colour), or in the RGB colours selected by NoteColourFore and NoteColourBack.

You can also choose colours with NoteColourRGB and NoteColourName.

A new line will automatically be started by output from the MUD, or a command that you type being echoed to the output window. You can send a new line yourself by sending vbCRLF (in Visual Basic) or \\n in Jscript or Perlscript.
VBscript example
World.tell \"This monster is worth avoiding!\"
Jscript example
world.tell(\"This monster is worth avoiding!\");
PerlScript example
$world->tell(\"This monster is worth avoiding!\");
Returns Nothing.
