AREADEF

Areas in the world, such as dungeons and cities are defined by regions. Regions are constructed from one or more "rectangles" on the map.

The basic syntax for definining a region is as follows:

[AREADEF defname]
RECT=left, top, right, bottom, map
RECT=left, top, right, bottom, map
RECT=left, top, right, bottom, map
