Redirecting Output Window

I'm a new mushclient user and a long time tintin user. I'm messing around a bit to see if I can make the transition over to this nice client.

I saw an interesting screen shot here: http://www.aardwolf.com/images/aardwolf-mud-client4.jpg

It looks like all of the output is going into various mini-windows. I think I understand how most of that works. I've been using the communications window with my mud and gotten it to work.

I'm interested in understanding how all of the rest of the MUD information seems to be redirected to the mini-window showing on the left of that screenshot? Is this based on some kind of extra info coming from the MUD or can any MUD use this? I pulled down the aardwolf distribution to look, but I don't see where this magic is happening?

I'm thinking I'm not describing what I would like very well. This is a screenshot of my current configuration with tintin. I normally multiplay with an identical screen to the right of this screenshot with another char.

Basically, you see 3 parts to the screenshot. The top above the dashed lines is my map. The middle part is the output area. The bottom (below the last dashes) is the input area with a 1 line prompt/status bar in blue with the input line below it.

I'm trying to figure out how to replicate that blue prompt that I've written using tintin and keeping it right above the input lie while suppressing the prompt going into the output area.

Is there a way I can control the mushclient output window area to not write anything to the first line so I can somehow "lock" my prompt line there?

That's not actually a miniwindow. It's just made to look like one.

It should work for any MUD.


Yeah. See http://mushclient.com/scripts/doc.php?function=TextRectangle

Thanks! I'll do some reading -)
