Three problems. First, I believe the word you're looking for is "sends".

Second:
{M}.loc = locate(56,62,1)

What the heck are braces doing around the M? This is the equivalent of (intentionally) replacing your car's wires with noodles and then wondering why it won't start.

Third, why is that line indented?

...could ya stop with the spelling remarks, plz? i made this in like a min fixed it up, and wondered why it did't work. heres what i did at first:
mob
GMs
verb
Jail(M as mob in view(5))
view() << "[usr] send [M] to jail!"
(M).loc = locate(56,62,1)
and it gave me these:
loading FFChat.dme
FFChat.dm:82:error:.loc:undefined type path
FFChat.dm:82:M :warning: unused label

FFChat.dmb - 1 error, 1 warning (double-click on an error to jump to it)

You mean "please"?

(That's a no, in case you were wondering.)

And you've still got braces around the M in that line. Did you even read what I posted?

To get M.loc to work correctly, you'll also probably need to change "M as mob" to "mob/M as mob".

Lummox, they're called parenthesis, not braces. Braces suck, I have them on my top teeth.

Ah--I didn't notice that in his second post he replaced the braces with parentheses. In his first, however, you'll note that he was using braces. My reaction to that was "Huh?!"
