@DESCRIBE @program Emulation=Here's an example of how to emulate @program. It takes two objects, one with the starting command to enter the program, and one with the @program, or one object with a creative uselock. The latter is used here.%r%rTo try it out, '+start'. For best effect, it should be in the same room as the person in the program. Also, it will not trap built in commands.
