[sldev] Re: More client forwarded chat channels.

[Chance Unknown]

basically, think of this idea as a channel zero (the viewer gets that) but
that doesnt show on the screen ... this has the implication that you can
script prims to send stuff to a hacked up viewer to which the viewer then
could prgramatically respond to. this could be utilized to provide
simplistic scripted capability to such a viewer based on how it was hacked
up.
