@Afterward - Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. Having never dealt with extensions before beyond the usual Includes I figured the first thing I should do is put the TXT file into an Extension project, which I did.
Once I did that the next step was to figure out how to test, debug, etc. an extension. I was stymied by Inform 6M62 but after some forum searching and reading (link link, link) I found out that you have to use Inform 10.1.2 for extension work since 6M62 broke at some point in the past (I’m running things on a Macintosh). That will work out since I plan to move 10.1.12 at some point.
Inform 10.1.12 (v1.82.3)
Inform 6M62 (v1.68.1)
After I’ve had some time to fool around with the code I’ll probably create a post in Technical Development > Inform Extensions that can be used for future questions and discussion about this extension.
Thanks again.
