Description:
Allows the mobs to speak and respond to speech.  The chat.dat file, from which speech behavior is derived, contains many "templates" for different speech behaviors.  MudChat will attempt to choose the correct speech behavior for the mob based on the mobs name.  This may be overridden by specifying a speech behavior in the parameter [group].  Speech patterns in the chat.dat at present include: default, dog fido beastly fido_dog, cat kitten lion, pig boar, doll toy, papa_smurf smurf, monster, smurfette, healer cleric doctor.

If the first character in the parameters is a +plus-sign, then a semi-colon delimited list of chat data is expected, in the same format as is found in chat.dat.

If a +plus-sign occurs after the data file and/or group name, then new entries may be added that way also, with the entry lines semi-colon delimited as above.
