Someone raised this question on a forum I read and while I don't actively work on MUDs any more it piqued my curiosity enough to give it a try...

Working on a stock ROM 2.4b6 base.

Basically, someone suggested a clear command, so that you could clear your input buffer. Useful if you've spammed a bunch of directions but get attacked, or are in a fight and have spammed a bunch of skills in but suddenly get double-teamed.

The command itself is easy, but having little experience with the input/output handlers I am having trouble getting the command put forward to the top of the input list. A quick example:

Bash
Bash
Bash
Clear

I type the first three bashes quickly, but after the first one I want to cancel the other two so I type clear. The command would have to be moved to the top of the list, ahead of the two other bashes, so it would be the next executed.

Maybe this is simple stuff to some of you but it's giving me a headache. I guess that's what I get for trying to code after a year/18 months of not really doing any.

Any solutions greatly appreciated!
