Smurf here at Berkeley is working on the party system.  He's revised it
to add flexibility.  I should encourage him to finish it up.  Everyone else
leave the party system alone, until smurf's done.  :)

We're currently arguing about that.  Jump in.

because nobody has done it, and it might not be a good idea....

(oh, heck, i should have added shields to encumbrance of spells.  Well,
it's not too late....)

  Stop!!! Stop!!!!  This is already DONE!!!!!  You CAN do this RIGHT NOW!
you type the number, and then use the mouse to drop that number of whatever.

  The party system that is currently in crossfire works fine for sharing
experience.  As a matter of fact, it works SO WELL, that one member of
the party can hang around the home town, and sit around, and gain experience
from other players' kills.  (That'll get fixed soon, i hope.)
