Both are on the todo list.

I've never thought of that, and MudWalker has no way to do it
"properly". 

However, this will work, though it will not open a channel window that
isn't already open:

  @@arg.linkable:link_send(new_lineString("<your message here>",
"MWLocalRole"), "channel_<your window name here>")


Here's the definition of message():

  function message (str)
    arg.linkable:link_send(new_lineString(str, "MWLocalRole"), "inward")
  end

The definition of this and other functions may be found, if you want to
study the accessible guts of MudWalker, inside the MudWalker package at
