[MudWalker] math.random?

[Andrew Cantino]

Thanks for your reply, this was very helpful!

Two other question, which, if possible, will make this the best MUD
client that I have found!

 * Is it possible to access the current time (or UNIX-style time in
seconds or milliseconds past some date) in scripts?
 * Is there a way to make a timed event -- like a trigger that goes
off every 5 seconds, or something?

Thanks for your great work!
