Multi window mudding
 
Okay, im playing a mud using 2 characters, and i would like to know if it is possible to send a command to the currently inactive mud window, if that makes sense.

The two windows have different names if that helps?

Thanks

Yep. The window SHOULD be named, and so you can just do this (assume the windows are named Player1 and Player2):

:Player2:<commands to send>

The first : tells ZMud to keep the current window focused (active), while the second : tells ZMud that the preceeding text is the window name.
