(See the best response by LordAndrew.)
Is there any way to edit the information on prompts created from verbs?

For instance if I had verb
mob
 verb
  set_numb(x as num)


A prompt would come up titled "set-numb number" and in the prompt it would show "______ as number". Is there a way to edit the title and the "as number" part of the prompt? Or add info to it? Also is there any way to call up an input prompt other than the parameter of a verb?

There's the input() proc, which allows you to set a title, label, default value, and a few other things for a prompt:

mob/verb/SetNumber()
    set name = "Set Number"
    var n = input("Set a number?", "Set Number", 0) as null | num
    if (isnum(n))
        world << n

I'm not sure it's possible to achieve the same thing when you're accepting the number as the parameter for a verb though.
