Delay = monster regen time in that specific room.

Min Index = The minimum monster index number that will regen in that room, refers to which Monster Type (see below) youhave the room set for.

Max Index = The maximum monster index number.

Spell = Any spell that is set to cast when someone walks in the room. Such as the sandstorm in the desert, or frenzy near the sysop trainer.

Max Regen = How many monsters regen in that room.

Death Room = A specific death room other than the "Death Rooms" MajorMud has assigned as the default, such as Halls of the Dead, etc. I am only assuming this.

Exit Room = If the user exits the game in this room, the exit room is where they will be when they come back.

Cmd text = A message or text block (not sure which) that a user must do to trigger something in that room. Not for exits like "pull lever", that's in the Exits screen.

Shop# = The number of the shop in the wccshop2.dat, or in the Shops window, if the room is set to be a shop.

Light = Not for sure exactly how its used, but it determines how much light is in the room, weather people will need a torch or not, etc.

Ansi Map = the default here is the ansi map for silvermere. if the user types 'map' in the room it will display the file specified here.

Attributes = 1 Patrollable, 2 Patrollable & Protected (safe room?)

Max Area = How many monsters are allowed in the area, ie rooms 3000-3100. Whatever rooms you have set to follow one specific control room.

Control Room = The one room that is in charge of all other rooms in the area. if you had rooms 3000-3100 as a new area, set them all to have control room 3000, and set the Max Area in room 3000, while being able to leave Max Area at 0 for the rest of the rooms in the area. Also, this is the room you can go into and do a "sys reset area" to reset the regen in the whole area if it dies or something.

Room Type = Pretty self-explanitory with the dropdown menu. Lair is for a monster room.

Monster Type = The Type of monster to regen in that area. All monsters are assigned a Type, such as Group 1, Angel, NPC, etc, and an Index number, which is used in the Min/Max Index. Monster Type is the broader heading, which is broken down into the Min/Max Index.

Could I suggest including into this help file for NMR for remote actions:

There is a popup context menu when you hover over that explains:
# = the exit number (0 to 9 for North through Down) that this action effects.

-if there are 2 or more actions needed then add 10 starting with the first action to each remote action's para2.

-so a room that needed 3 remote actions on the South (1) edit would have in para2: 11 for the first action, 21 for the second, and 31 for the third.

-a room that needed only one action on the NE (5) exit would just need a 5 in the para2 field.

So we know that you have to use 0-9 and i've deduced that
North = 0
South = 1
East = 2
West = 3
Northeast = 4 (process of elimination)
Northwest = 5 (from crimson fort 15/1075 but is different than your context menu)
Southeast = 6 (from crimson fort 15/1077)
Southwest = 7
Up = 8 (process of elimination)
Down = 9 (used in 1/1442)

The 0-9 matches what's in the exit panel on a room. Also good idea to have an example on how to do a remote action might be nice.
