1.) How do you place text in the command bar via code? (EX. Automatically put ''SAY'' in the command bar so it's easier to talk)

2.) How are you to make it so an icon displayed on the output window initiates a verb? (ex. clicking a chat bubble next to someone's name to whisper to them)

3.) Is there a way to hide a verb so that the ONLY WAY To access the verb is via a skin control or some other method? (ex. if set hidden is set to 1, players can still type out the command to hide it)

4.) HTML Related question: sends all form data to Topic(), however. It looks like a button. Is there any way to get the submit to work via hyperlink? Looks a lot neater to me

Eh..

1.) You can use client/command_text = "say " (for example)

2.) If you mean an image such as something in the text window (like when using say and its right next to them) then you'd want to try to use some HTML like <*a href=?Test><*IMG CLASS=icon SRC=\ref[src.icon] ICONSTATE='[src.icon_state]'><*/a> then set a link from client/Topic() to whatever link name such as Test.

Also, remove the *'s for it to work.

An example:
client/Topic(href)
 if(href == "Test")
  //insert your PM function here
 . = ..()


Though, this can work,
