−	This unique flag or keyword works to ensure that a unit will never have more than one of that function available on the object at any given time. This is a great way to cut down on the length of new dils because instead of having to do an if(dilfind) every time, you can simply use the unique flag. For example, if you create an entangle spell, and want to have a DIL that can be copied onto char's affected by entanglement, then the unique flag makes sure that even if the spell was cast twice on the same char, there would be only one instance of the entangle DIL running on that char.	+	This unique flag or keyword works to ensure that a unit will never have more than one of that function available on the object at any given time.

		+	* alias

		+	* variable
		+
		+	Many of you will recognize these as components of mud clients like zmud/cmud/mudlet etc.
		+	This change makes muds a little more accessible by presenting the mud in a web form while still allowing for some of the basic automations found in clients.

		+	=== Variable ===
		+
		+	Variables are basically stringlists and can be defined as such:
		+	variable friends papi\|john\|aja\|bruce\|cityguard\|the janitor
		+	To recall a variable for use in a trigger, you will notate it as (@variablename) or in this example (@friends). This is recalled in the example below.

		+	=== Triggers ===
		+	If you want to do whatever the beastly Fido tells you to do:
		+	$trigger $trigger obey /^the Beastly Fido tells you '(.+?)'/ $1
		+	Or maybe you'd like to
		+	$trigger smarmy /^(@friends)\sleaves (.+?)\.$/ say I love $1. Especially when $1 leaves $2.
