Using TinTin commands

Note that Pueblo starts out in verbatim mode. In this mode, everything is sent to the world ‘as is’. To change to use TinTin processing, you must issue the #verbatim command.

Sending a line verbatim

You can send any line verbatim by prefixing it with a backslash. For example:

\#alias

Sends the text ‘#alias’ to the world, rather than executing the ‘#alias’ command.

Sending Multiple Commands

TinTin provides the ability to send multiple commands by separating the commands with semicolons. Each command separated in this way is sent to the world, followed by a carriage-return. For example, the following line says two things in a row:

say Hi, how are you?;say I’m fine, thank you!

If you wish to include a semicolon, place it after a backslash:

#alias grin {say \;-)}

Repeat counts

TinTin allows you to repeat a command multiple times, using the following format:

#number {command}

For example, to execute the command ‘#return’ 4 times, you would enter the following:

#4 {#return}

Arguments

Many TinTin commands take one or more arguments. For example, the #alias command takes two arguments… the alias text and the replacement text. In order to more clearly group arguments, you may enclose those arguments in curly braces. This is especially important if an argument includes a semicolon.

For example, the following command defines an alias that first says something and then moves north:

#alias exitn {say I’m outta here!;n}

Commands

The following commands are currently supported:

#<session name>	#action	#alert	#all
#alias	#bell	#char	#cr
#echo	#end	#gag	#help
#if	#ignore	#info	#killall
#log	#loop	#map	#mark
#math	#mbox	#message	#name
#nop	#path	#pathdir	#playsound
#random	#read	#return	#savepath
#session	#showme	#speedwalk	#split
#substitute	#textin	#tick	#tickkey
#tickoff	#tickon	#tickset	#ticksize
#togglesub	#tolower	#toupper	#unaction
#unalias	#ungag	#unpath	#unsubstitute
#unvariable	#variable	#verbatim	#version
#wizlist	#write	#zap

The following TinTin commands are not currently implemented in Pueblo:

#antisubstitute	#highlight	#history	#presub
#tababb	#tabdelete	#tablist	#unantisub
#unhighlight

The following TinTin commands are not supported in Pueblo:

#boss	#redraw	#snoop	#suspend
#system	#unsplit

Note: All commands may be abbreviated. For example, #verbatim may be typed as #verb. The first command matching the abbreviation (searching in alphabetical order) is used. Hence #ver would match #verbatim before it would match #version.
