Cleo suggested adding an "emote" command, similar to what is available on
MUDs, I quote:

So if the emote command was & I could type

& smiles sweetly at Guest 2077

        and the balloon under me would say

Cleo smiles sweetly at Guest 2077

End quote.

The following OUTCHAT script can be used to emulate the "&" command that
Cleo describes.  I think the idea is a good one and should probably be added
to a future version of the client (with a special balloon shape) - this'll
work in the meantime, as a workaround for the power user.  It uses the "!"
balloon shape.

ON OUTCHAT {

        { "$1" GREPSUB what = "! " USERNAME + " " + what + SAY
          "" CHATSTR = }
        CHATSTR "^& (.*)" GREPSTR IF
}
