When I was playing a game called monster on my vax, I used to have limited 
creation ability.  It's similar to what you see in muds, where you essentially
do a walk through and whenever you want to add something to the game you can 
just sort of create it then and there without really leaving the game 
environment.  Does there exist an adventure creation system similar to this?

I can see it now.  You begin as a god in a blank universe.
>Create Room
name of room? First room
You are standing in a room.
>Describe room
It is a room.
>Edit room description
[Editing session for the text block]
>edit room properties.
[Editing session]
>create door
direction? n
name of room that door leads to? Second room
There is a door leading north here.
>Go North
You have entered Second room.
>

etc. . . .

Does anything like this exist?  My current platform is the Amiga, but I'm 
willing to play with source code if it's necessary.

If it doesn't exist.  Would it be worth writing?  I think so.
