Muddle is a terminal app, this means that you need to edit terminal
files to use it.
Text edit will edit these files, but it will require a little manual
work.
First option is to load the muddle.sample into text edit, change your
aliases, triggers, and connections, then save it again, rename the
muddle.sample file to dot muddle (that's the word muddle preceeded by
a period) which will make it invissible to finder, so subsequent
edits will take a bit of fancy footwork. :)
As for using ip addresses instead of domain names, this is an
artifact of the way muddle connects to it's hosts, (again, something
I'll fix as soon as I get the other issues worked out)
To find the ip address of a mud, you'll need to use nslookup (not
recomended lately) or whois.
I prefer nslookup, because it returns *only* the ip address, where as
whois gives all kinds of other info as well, which isn't relevant to
your current case, but the advantage of whois is that it can be run
from a web browser or any other whois client (and there's tons of
them) so it is easier for folks to hunt down the required info.
There are examples of all of the things muddle can do in the sample
configuration file, so you can take those and modify them to do what
you like.
It's certainly not the easiest client to use, but the advantage is
that it loads, and gets out of your way, so you can do your mudding
without having to concern yourself with anything but the mud in
question.
I don't mud very often, but when I do, muddle lets me have multiple
muds open and keep track of all of them with a few simple commands.
That's my primary reason for using it.
