Yes. Blinking text instead of substituting for ANSI reverse or italics. And for example, this text from a MUD is supposed to blink High Red then Standard Red:

GET COMPRESSED!

And along those lines, support of the MUD Client Compression Protocol would be neat too (MCCP)

That way would work with just the Task command, but wouldn't solve the problem of performing every interval, and not just when idle.

Is there any way to set up a trigger or macro or some kind of event that will work as a sort of idle timer and send a response after a certain number of ticks? as an example, there's a world I use with an insanely short idle-disconnect. I'd like every five minutes to send a . (period) to keep me from dropping. But I don't want it to happen every five minutes if I am active. Only if I haven't input anything for five minutes. If this isn't possible, then a moderator can move it to feature request.
