Description of MUSHclient world function: world.Tell

Name	Tell
Type	Method
Summary	Sends a message to the output window - not terminated by a newline
Prototype	`void Tell(BSTR Message);` View list of data type meanings
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. To make changes to the text style (eg. bold, underline) see NoteStyle.
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!");`
Python example	`world.tell("This monster is worth avoiding!")`
Lua example	`Tell ("This monster is worth avoiding!")`
Lua notes	`You can supply multiple arguments, which are concatenated together.`
Returns	`Nothing.`
