Why do I see a command line for both sessions that I am connected to?

How do I delete a path from the command line? I would like to avoid having to go into the editor to remove a path.

Is there a setting I need to check to keep the focus on the command line? If I click into the window, the command line might lose focus and I have to click back in the command line. This can be a pain.

I found out through the documentation that you can reverse a path with the shortcut character (..) but say I have the following path:
guild {.2e2n5u}, and I want to change it to guild {.2e2n5u;think}, how do you reverse it so you end up with {float;5d2w2s} as your reverse path?

What has happened here? I type #path in the command line and this is my output:
Path Ahead: <empty>
Path Behind: .nw4s15e;.(hn);.(reply Are there dirs to get to the cemetary?);.(quest);.(quest vest)l15w;.(hp);.(rest);.(hp)12w7esew3nsw;.(sell all)e2n3s18wn3s;.(lt)3snw;.(con overseer);.(lt)3w3ks;.(lt)7s2k9w;.(rest);.(ii);.(ready);.(wear cret);.(wear crest)l;.(equip crest)l;.(sore);.(gear)l;.(hp);.(i);.(use ring);.(use ring 2);.(r How do you use the Ring of Endurance?)l;.(hp)l5wh;.(r I am at a large stone wall)lwsl6en;.(r Here we go.)l;.(l ghost);.(quest vestachelon);.(vest vest);.(quest vest);.(r lol)l;.(f)l;.(alias f finger $*)l;.(lt)l;.(quest vest);.(ask ghost about skeletons);.(accept)ln2e3w;.(xa);.(quest);.(r Vestachelon quest is level 32+?)l;.(r ah);.(mf);.(xa);.(mf);.(mf);.(xa);.(mf);.(mf);.(xa);.(r I have low str so I miss my attacks most of the time);.(xa);.(xa);.(xa);.(m);.(mf);.(xa);.(bury corpse good);.(get all);.(help currency)ln;.(k skeleton);.(xa);.(mf);.(mf);.(ii);.(start)e;.(donate huaberk);.(donate hauberk);.(donate);.(read plaque);.(store hauberk);.(store hauberk 2)wn2e2w2n;.(trash hauberk);.(trash hauberk 2);.(l trash)l;.(i);.(l in trash);.(who);.(r Um, I just put a tempered elven chain mail from my guild in the trash. )l;.(i);.(ready)l2s4e2n5udu;.(think)2wesn;.(l board);.(read 4)2s2wn;.(l board);.(score);.(ii);.(eq);.(gear);.(post elven chain mail);.(I'm sorry, but I put one in the trash by accident.

Most of that is commands that I entered into the mud and I don't understand why they were stored in a path.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

1) Each session needs it's own command line. Commands typed on a command line normally go only to the window that the command line is associated with.

2) The #unpath command.

3) No, there is no way to keep the focus on the command line. This is normal Windows behavior.

4) You cannot change the reverse of a path. If the needed reverse of a path is not the inverse of the direction commands, you will need to have two separate paths, one for each direction.

5) I believe that #path will record all your commands while recording, because some of them may be necessary commands for the path (such as your "think" and "float" in your earlier example). You have to be careful what you input while recording a path. You can edit the path later, if you want.

5) Remember to use #MARK to start the beginning of your path recording.

Ah, you did adequately describe your problem. If you have two command lines attached like that, it means that you have accidentally removed the command line from one window and attached it to the other window. The easiest way to fix this is to remove your layout settings completely, then set up your windows the way you like again, and save the layout. To open your session without the the layout, close out the session. In the Sessions window, highlight the session you want to open. Hold down the SHIFT key and click Open Offline. Once the window is open, arrange the windows the way you want, then click Layout|Save Session Layout. The command lines should be attached to the right windows.

The problem with the session not showing the command line might be associated with the problem above. Try that and see.

As for #unpath, I'm certain there was supposed to be an #unpath command, to go along with #unvar, #undir, #untrig, etc. But you are correct, it doesn't exist. That means the only way to delete a path is to open the Package Editor and delete it by hand.

If you only have one command line attached to the window, (as fixed above) then clicking in the window should properly put the focus in the command line. Most of your problems appear to be due to accidentally moving that command line.

Wow, in over 12+ years that's the first request for #unpath I think. You are right...I could have sworn that the command existed, but it doesn't. It's a trivial addition so I'll add it to the to-do list.
