I have a problem script that used to work in older zMUD's (back when the mapper was fast). Now, when the mapper lags in drawing the current room,
my script goes crazy, trying to move in directions unavailable, etc....

So, Im going to work on the script, BUT....

How do I stop it when it starts to go crazy on me?

I tried disabling it...no dice.

Have you tried #abort 1? That usually works for me

I tried typing that into the command line and it didn't do anything - I would need that to be in the running script, I think...

You can stop a slow walk with the #stop command. You can't stop a fast walk because all the commands are sent at once. Make sure you're using #abort 1 and not just #abort - the former stops all scripts, the latter doesn't. If the script involves an alarm, also take a look at the #suspend command.

If none of this helps, we'll need more info on what script it is you're running.

Have you tried pressing the Escape key on your keyboard - I think that might stop the running script?

Did you try hitting ESC from the command line? Keyboard shortcuts

Thanks for the help - #abort 1 does indeed let me escape the script.
I had had mixed luck with Esc working - but it may indeed been a case of 'Am I at the command line?' or clicked on one of the subwindows.
