The problem, is that I can not go straight to mine. Because, yes, it gives
me the file to change...but, as the example I gave you shows, in the Mobprog
patch file, there is no context...just line numbers. It is imposible to
search within the file for it, because there is nothing to tell you what to
search for. Yes, it works for that color code I showed you, and indeed I
did that exact thing to put in the color...but I can't with the mobprog
snippet...so that is why I asked "How exactly do I read the line number
directions" in that kind of patch file. I wasn't askign about doing the
color code...I've done that. But my problem was that the patch format for
the mobprogs is different.
As for who's mobprogs...it's been about a year since I downloaded it (other
projects took precedence)...so maybe this exceprt from the file will help
identify it.

If any of you have a suggested mob-item-room-area prog snippet that does not
require an OLC, I would appreciate any information.
