The above is the specials section from The Shire.

"#SPECIALS" denotes the beginning of a specials section, and is required.

There are several types of special procedures (as they were designed pretty poorly, and I've been too lazy to install improved spec proc code I wrote for other MUDs...), which are denoted by different letters.

The syntax of every line is "<command> <VNUM> <special_name>"

"*" is a comment line, and anything beyond the special name is a comment.

"S" denotes the end of the specials section, and is required.

M denotes a mobile special. These procedures are automatic and only behave automatically.

I denotes an interactive mobile special. These procedures can react to what players type.

Wdenotes a wear procedure on an item. It takes affect when a player wears or removes an item.

O denotes an interactive object special, which can react to what players type.

R denotes a room special, which can be reactive.
