I used "#WALK (location)" from the command line to have the mapper calculate and execute a slow walk path to where I need to go. On the way, a creature engaged me, so I didn't move north from that room. I manually retreated from combat so I could move again.

Then I tapped "8" on my keypad, and nothing happened.

I tapped "8" again, and I moved north and the slow walk continued to the destination.

And it moved me one room north of my destination.

So, it seems that when I manually tried to move north to continue the path, it appended the command to the path. Is that weird, or am I missing something?

I know this kind of situation. I hate it when somehow mapper blocks sending your moves from keypad. Just my question: Do you use some large values of step delay to make this a "slow walk"?

A slow walk is when you use the mapper to run to a given room in slow mode - there's a button for it on the mapper toolbar, and you can choose it under Actions -> Speedwalk Mode too. You could also run any given path in slow mode with the #SLOW command.

Yeah, but it screws up.. in zmud. Cmud too?

Yes, I had this similar problem in zMUD as well, now that I think about it.

@roz: as I said initially, I'm using the #WALK command to have the mapper do the work for me. Using this command will be Fast, Safe, or Slow, depending on how the map is currently set - I keep mine in Slow mode so that it verifies each room before sending the next direction because my MUD won't allow more than a couple commands at a once, and also my walking is sometimes interrupted by being engaged by critters or other phenomena.
