	I'm not certain what you mean here.  MY version, thus far anyways, was
	for the MOO end to be told to act in SERVER mode... it would then
	send certain textual strings to the CLIENT which would then act
	locally upon it.  I think that's how some of the existing clients
	(bixnav, etc.) handle this.  

	But yes, something would need to be programmed on the MOO end (perhaps
	in verbs, not necessarily the server itself) to accomodate any
	of this.

	Indeed!  Glad I posted about it... anyone else?

I happen to be working on a GUI FE for the Mac. It is almost done, but it
is programmer-oriented, i.e., helps you program the MOO, edit verbs, properties
etc..The Server did not have to be modified in any way. I used th
PREFIX/SUFFIX to isolate text.
