Provides MDI (Multiple Document Interface), with each world appearing in a
separate window
You can automatically connect your character to a world (name and password)
After connecting, one or more extra commands can be automatically sent (e.g.
WHO)
You can have multiple windows open per world
All configuration options (triggers, aliases, etc.) are saved on a per-world
basis, to allow for configuring for different types of MUDs
Each world has a free-format "notes" area for making note of anything
you like that you may want to remember for next time you play on that world
Context-sensitive help is always available to explain how to use configuration
screens, and other features
Details for an entire world, or just one of triggers / macros / aliases / colours
/ strings can be saved for re-use later
Toolbars are resizable. The "game" buttons are on a separate toolbar.
The program remembers the toolbar positions and restores them next time.
Connections
Connections are "asynchronous". This means that MUSHclient doesn't
hang while awaiting connection to a world. You can connect to multiple worlds,
and then wait for each connection to complete, or time-out, as the case may
be.
You can specify one or more worlds to be automatically connected to as MUSHclient
starts executing.
You can disconnect a session without closing the world.
You can abort an attempt to connect to a world, without waiting for it to time-out.
You can reconnect a session without having to close and re-open the world.
You can open a world without necessarily connecting.
When creating a new world, you can use an existing world's settings as defaults
(colours, triggers, aliases and so on).
The position on the screen of each world window is remembered and restored
next time you use the program (including the size of the command area).
The status line shows the duration that you have been connected to the current
world.
You can optionally close a world without being asked to confirm the close.
The program correctly handles Telnet negotiation sequences, thus allowing you
to connect to a host that requires the Telnet protocol.
Activity toolbar
Shows activity on windows by showing window number in red. Also current window
has the button depressed.
This toolbar shows activity on the first 10 open worlds (you can have more
than 10 worlds open, but only the first 10 show on the toolbar).
Any world with new activity has its number in red (see example below). In the
example, worlds 2 has new activity.
The current world shows as a "pushed" button (see example below).
In the example, world 3 is the active world.
The toolbar can be "docked" (ie. tied to the top, bottom, left or
right-hand sides of the screen), or "floating" (ie. anywhere on the
screen you like). It can be resized to be vertical, horizontal or a square
shape (see example below).
You can switch to any world by pressing Ctrl+n where "n" is the number
(eg. Ctrl+2 switches to world 2). You can also click on any button to go to
that world.
