Im not sure whether its only been broken cause of changes to the DGD driver
since the last Melville release, but I had to change the update command
to get it to work properly.  If you need any help with that - email me
at mud at hal9000.net.au

Yup.. If you want your room description to span more than one line 
physically, you need to do something like:
long_desc="This is my rooms long description" +
          ", which covers more than one line as you can see.";

Erm one word - Mappings.  Again if you need any help and arent getting 
any help, email me.  Im working on a Melville based mudlib too - although
Im rewriting most of it - its a very good learners mudlib, but not what 
you would use to do advanced stuff like the one that comes with the Driver.
