I wanted to know how to make it so when the user clicks a verb it adds a "> " to the beginning of their input bar, and when they click another verb it deletes it.

Thanks!

Look up the command param in the skin ref.

Yes, but I was wondering how to code that verb...

Look up winset().

Hmm...so would I do:

mob
     verb
          activate()
               winset(usr, "main.input1", "> ")


...?

No, you have to give it a param to actually edit. Plus, if you read the skin ref. article, you would know that you have to put a !command in there somewhere.

winset(usr, "main.input1", "command=\"in \\\"> "")


?
I'm confused...is that right?

I think I get it, but it's still not working:
winset(usr, "main.input1", "command=insert > ")


Can you help explain Winset? Cause the DM Ref is too confusing...

I explained it here. Make sure that you place your new param value in double quotes (\"\") if it has a space in it. Note that you have to put an exclamation point before your command to display it, like the skin ref. said.

winset(usr, "main.input1", "command='!> '")


Try that. You can use single quotes to surround the command, instead of trying escape double-quotes.
