section

  1. noun One of the three collections of areas that make up The Land. Historically, the MUD1 rooms comprised the first section, followed by Valley, followed by Simon's rooms. See these individually for more details.
  2. noun A component of the text that makes up a database (particularly one written in MUDDL and its derivations) which groups together semantic items into a single syntactic form. Thus, for example, rooms are defined in one section, objects in another, and actions in a third - and there were more besides! See travel table.
