SYNOPSIS
        void tell_object(object|string ob, string str)
        void tell_object(object|string ob, mixed * msg)

DESCRIPTION
        Send a message str to object ob (which is looked up and if necessary
        loaded if given by name).
        
        If the second argument is a string, the message will be printed
        to <ob> if it is an interactive user, otherwise it will be passed to
        the lfun catch_tell() of the target living.

        If the second argument is an array, it will be passed to the lfun
        catch_msg() in the target.

EXAMPLES
        object who;
        who=find_player("wessex");
        tell_object(who, "Hi!\n");

        Just tell Wessex a simple "Hi!".


        Object 1 (living with the name "dummymonster"):
           void catch_tell(string str) {
              write("Received: "+str+"\n");
           }
        Object 2:
           void func() {
              object who;
              who=find_living("dummymonster");
              tell_object(who, "Follow me, mortal one!\n");
              ...
           }

        This examples shows how tell_object() together with
        catch_tell() works.

HISTORY
        LDMud 3.2.11 introduced the 'mixed *' form for symmetry reasons.
