I was wanting to replace the directions that the mud I play puts out and replace them with compass like directions.

Such as:
You see exits leading north, east, and west.

would be replaced with:
```N
W-+-E

Without the `s of course. Couldnt get the N to move over right.
Can someone that understands this stuff a bit better than I help me out?

Also, how would I change color to those letters in the script? Like a neon green N while the -+- was gray.

You can change colors with the %ansi function. You'll need to use a font that uses the same space for every character to have the spacing come out right. Good luck.

Doh, I meant I couldnt get it to move over right on the post, not on the script =)

I made a sub for a simple "You see an exit south" change to "s" but I cant get the compass look right.

I can't seem to get a + to be put above and I can't get them to stack.

Example:

You see an exit south.

changed to:

+
s

I can only get the S to show up in the sub. Any idea what Im doing wrong or how I can make it right?
