utilities

The library directory %{TFLIBDIR} contains many useful utility files ending in ".tf". To use any one of them, simply /load or /require the file. For example, to enable ESC-TAB completion automatically, just "/require completion.tf" from your .tfrc file. Some of the more useful files:

alias.tf

/alias, etc: create commands without '/'.

at.tf

/at: execute commands at a specified time.

complete.tf

Automagic word completion.

filexfer.tf

/putfile, /getfile: transfer files to/from a mud.

kb-bash.tf

Keybindings similar to those in bash.

kb-emacs.tf

Keybindings similar to those in emacs.

kb-os2.tf

kbbind.tf

kbfunc.tf

Macros used by kbbind.tf.

map.tf

quoter.tf

rwho.tf

There are also other files, not listed here.

For complete instructions on any of these utilities, see the help section for that topic if there is one, or read the comments at the top of each file. Sorry, I haven't gotten around to documenting them very well.

Note to unix users: many library files were renamed in version 3.5, but the old names still work (via soft links).
