Ghost
A ghost is an invisible avatar. When your
avatar is ghosted, you will not see their
physical form on-screen, apart from a small
icon in the top-right hand corner. This is
a ghost icon.
Ghosts are able to travel across locales much
quicker, as the avatar animation is not shown.
To ghost/unghost, simply click on the button,
fifth from the left.

Like
most Windows programs, VZones has sub menus too:
File > Lists avatars you have seen
and turfs you have visited. Lets you organise friends
and turf names. Preferences lets you turn off the
sound and Save Messages lets you save a dialogue
of spoken text inworld.
Edit > Basic Cut, Copy, Paste and
Undo commands.
Communicate > A simplified version
of the VZones toolbar (see above).
Toolbar > Allows you to alter the look
of your toolbar.
Help > View official help files and
page a sysop to help you.
Sysops
are special avatars in VZones, that assist the members
when they are in need. For example, one member is
having trouble with another, so he/she pages a sysop.
Sysops go by different names in different worlds...
simply look at your Help menu to see what they are
called in your corresponding world.
To page a sysop, click the Page ____
command under the Help menu.
