| 2 | void catch_tell(string) |
| 3 | |
| 4 | DESCRIPTION |
| 5 | When a message is sent to an non-interactive object, via say(), |
| 6 | tell_object, tell_room() or write(), it will get to the function |
| 7 | catch_tell(string). The idea is to enable communications between |
| 8 | NPCs and from a user to an NPC. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Messages sent to an interactive object are also passed to that |
| 11 | object's catch_tell() lfun, _if it has one_. If the receiver |
| 12 | (or one of its shadows) doesn't have that lfun, the text is sent |
| 13 | to the socket directly. Only messages sent by an interactive |

| 15 | socket immediately. |

| 18 | written to a player. |
