OK, I'm going to start with I'm a pretty newbie coder, but I tend to think I learn fast. So, I try to make some functions, and they aren't working the way I think they will. So out of curiosity, I do the function example verbatim from the help.

#FU fact {%if(%1<=1,1,%1*@fact(%eval(%1-1)))}

So then I further do the example actions, using #EVAL and #SHOW.

#EVAL @fact(5)

it's supposed to yield an output of 120. But it gives me the #SHOW output, 5*4*3*2*1.

If I can't get the basic example to work with cut'n'paste, I've no hope of successfully creating my own. Any ideas?

You need to tell zMUD to evaluate the output of the function:
#SH %eval(@fact(5))

Interesting, you're probably the first person to ever actually try the example.

Submit a bugrep on #EVALUATE.
