    55  The MUSH has a built-in chat system with many different channels.

    99  You can talk to many people on the MUSH via the chat system, without 
    1010  needing to be in the same room as them. Use the "@channel" command 
    11   to join, leave, or check who is on a channel, and use the "@chat" 
    12   or "+" command to communicate. 
    13  
    14   If you examine yourself, you will see a list of channels that you are 
    15   currently listening to. Some channels are restricted to wizards or 
    16   administrators only. See the following help topics for details:

    28   many letters as needed to make it distinct from another channel 
    29   that you're also on.

    31   Note: if you use the '+' form of this command, and you do not 
    32   use the name of a known channel, your command will be processed
