[DGD] Kernel question

[Jay Shaffstall]

Hello!  I'm looking at building a mudlib on top of the kernel mudlib.  I've 
started some minor modifications to the user object to learn my way 
around.  As I go, I'll come up with lots of questions, I'm sure.

If there's someplace else to find the answers to these questions (or any 
future ones I ask), don't hesitate to point me toward it.

My first question is that DGD's send_message kfun is supposed to send a 
message to the current user.  The kernel mudlib connection object provides 
a message () method that wraps send_message, seemingly to provide for 
automatic resending of anything that doesn't make it out on the first 
send_message.  In what circumstances will an entire string not make it to 
the user on the first send_message?

The connection object also seems to assume that a second call to 
send_message will always send everything that's still pending (this is done 
in message_done).  Is that true?

Thanks,
Jay
