@program

Section titled “@program”

@program <player>=<object>/<attribute>[:<message>]
@quitprogram[/quiet] [<player>]

@program waits for the player’s next line and runs the attribute as you, with the line in %0, the player as the enactor (%#) and the q-registers @program ran with. The player sees the message, if given, and a > prompt. A line starting with | runs as an ordinary command and the program keeps waiting. A player is in one program at a time, on the connection that typed @program (else the one they used last), and a program left an hour without a line ends. You may run one for yourself or a player you control, on an object you control.

@quitprogram ends the player’s program, or your own, without running it; /quiet tells no one.

These are TinyMUX’s and RhostMUSH’s commands, reached under those dialects (see compatibility config); their own names everywhere are @dialect_program and @dialect_quitprogram.
