Exa programs

Examine progs are activated when the PC examines or looks at an object.

This program is on the Waterdeep News Board. Each time a PC looks at the board they get those echos and they are forced to read a help file. As you cannot put help files in your own area at this point time, you will need to consult with us before doing this kind of command.

This is the prog on the chest near the first door in the training temple. It loads up a key and puts the key in the chest and then echos that there is a key in the chest. Unfortunately the echo before this prog is that the chest is empty.
