The funny thing is that the only reason why I even bothered writing one
in the first place is because yours didn't have "sit now"!

See Oz? Features!

I think we've all gone a bit OT to be honest. All he wanted in the first
place was a quick tut on how the existing in-client AOs worked. I'd
assume he's considering adding one to the LL client. I agree with Anne
that he should probably start with the inworld scripted AOs and then
work from there as there are a lot of possibilities.
