Seems to me like you should be able to save the current status of the ingame world with an internal command. I don't mean saving a game file to play later, but actually saving and updating the ASL code of the game. I've pretty much set up a way to design a whole world from inside just the start room and have it all link together, but I can't then save all of it from inside the game. Just seems like it'd be useful, especially when QuestNet comes out, if anyone plans to have a persistent(not sure if that's the right word) world. Something like #quest.currentworld.save# and what-not.
Just a suggestion.
P.S. Also having a template type piece of ASL, that anyone could start up, and use a set of commands to create a game and save for others to play might appeal to new folks to Quest.

Thats a cool idea.. almost like muds.. you leave them running and you can update/manipulate all the pieces of it.
