What about having something where parents pay AW to log their children's
chat (i.e. cli>server) and then have a log emailed to them?

I use satellite internet. This involves a regular dial-up connection, a
proxy, a satellite dish and some special software.
If I do not share the dialup connection but instead point AW to connect to
the proxy on 192.168.0.1:9203 (using the proxy settings), AW cannot
connect. If I share the dialup connection and try to connect to AW it logs
in. I have full access to 192.168.0.1:9203 with or without the dialup
connection being shared, for example this post is going through the
Satellite Proxy.
I wish AWI would fix this so that AW users are able to connect via proxy
when they do not have direct access to the internet.
I know I **can** use AW if needs be, but I use two different ISPs at
different times of day which involves changing the current shared
connection.
PLEASE FIX THIS IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIVES!
:-P

I was more thinking of something like
UVScale=2
(Where it would be 0 to 2)... so that you could modify how many times a
texture repeats on an object.

I know how to make RWX files in notepad so I do understand.
I have owned 4 worlds at the same time in the past.
What I am asking for is that if I put UVScale=2 on an object that goes
0 0 0 1
1 0 1 1
It would make it
0 0 0 2
2 0 2 2
Also, I am not asking for this on complex objects but for objects such as
the sort that would have the UV values listed above.

in Eep's responses/questions - texturing is not a joyride! It is another
science (and you need to have a PhD in it to use!) to properly wrap a
texture on an object!

There could be "nude" textures too if people wanted them. Avs could carry a
rating beacon which is sent out to all the clients..... and unless a box is
clicked (like "I am over X years old") they revert to a fully clothed
texture.

Wouldn't something be better like:
create seq seqID=1 order=1 [next=2]; seq [commands]
then the next object is
create seq seqID=1 order=2 next=1 wait=4; seq [commands]
That starts a sequence called 1 (or abc, etc.)
Order informs the browser that it is number X in the sequence
Next is taken to be Order+1 as default.
Seq is similar to create but only starts when the object's position in the
sequence is called.
Wait tells the browser to wait before continuing to the next point in the
sequence.
Fine, I know this can be done with astart, astop and adone - but wouldn't
this be a much simpler method? I've never got the hang of those commands
myself and think it would be far simpler if it were done this way.
