MOO Tutorial Worksheet

3. What do you do if you want to change your character's name? What are the rules for names?
   
4. Why should you add a description to your character?
   
5. What is the purpose of choosing a gender on Connections? What happens if you set your gender to Spivak?
   
6. What should you do if you want your email to be private?
   
7. What seems to be the difference between the commands look and exam?
   
8. What is an @doing message and how do you set it?
