I don't notice anything right off except maybe it does not like the all-caps 'MSG'...

Usually this basic example looks like this:

mob
  verb
    say(msg as text)
      world << "[usr] says, [msg]"

Try putting spaces in your 'world<<"[src]...' line as I did in my example above. And maybe switch MSG to msg (although I do not see why that would be a problem).

Plus, this post should be in 'Newbie Section' or 'Code Problems' *not* General - please read the 'Help' on the subject matter of the forum sections...

Many times this error is from things not being indented properly. Try looking at the proc above or below say and seeing if any proc lines up inside another proc.
