If you know how to apply source-patches, you may want to apply the attached 
patch to the 0.10.4a source tree. Should get you PyGTK support and therefore 
HP-info should work fine.

The documentation explains the specific interfaces for GnomeMud, the scripting 
interface itself is either Python or C. Both are stand-alone languages in 
their own right. For Python, start at www.python.org. For C, I can't think of 
a website to recommend but I do recommend the book "The C Programming 
Language" by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.

def aliasFunc(c,s):
	# check if S is your alias and modify it.
	return s

GnomeMud.register_output_handler(aliasFunc)

At the moment, there isn't an interface for plugins to bind keys. A possible 
consideration for the future.

Use register_input_handler, modify the text as appropriate and return it.
