It's an RP MUD, so all the OOC text, including area resets, is removed, 
so there's really no way other than a timer to do that while I'm away 
from the keyboard.  I could try weather changes, perhaps, but that only 
works while standing outdoors, and I think they're further than 5 
minutes apart anyway...

That's a lot of work to go through when there could just be a checkbox 
reading "show triggered command on screen" or something.  ;)  I'm 
trying to move to MUDWalker from Rapscallion, and it's the little 
things like that that are important.
