Showing help on 'page'

Syntax: page <player> [[with] <text>]

Sends a message to a connected player, telling them your location and, optionally, <text>.

Example:
Munchkin types:
page Frebble with "Where are you?"
Frebble sees:
You sense that Munchkin is looking for you in the Kitchen.
He pages, "Where are you?"
Munchkin sees:
Your message has been received.

Advanced Features:
Page refers to the following messages on the players involved (see "help messages"):

@page_origin [Verb not found]
Determines how the recipient is told of your location.

@page_echo [Verb not found]
Determines the response received by anyone who pages you.

@page_absent [Verb not found]
Determines the response received by anyone who tries to page you when you aren't connected.

All of these undergo the usual pronoun substitutions (see "help pronouns") except that in both cases the direct object (%d) refers to the recipent of the page and the indirect object (%i) refers to the sender. You should only change these messages if you want to add to the Virtual Reality feel of the MOO for your character.
