hi again all,
i'm attempting to code a daemon for one of my NPC's, that will have him
get out of a chair, exit his house, locking his door behind him, walk
east, spend like 20 turns there, walk back to his house, unlock his
door, open it, entering his house (leaving the door open), and sit in
his chair and wait.  This will be a repeating cycle.
By problem, as you can guess from the header, is that i have no idea
how to do this... i've looked at examples (like thief.inf), and
a few others, and have read parts of the designer's manuel, but my
attempt to do this has so far been unsucesful (I have code, but it 
doesn't seem to do anything).
can anyone help me out, with pointers, sources to check, code, etc.
mucho thanx...
erik
