The program you use on your computer to play DragonRealms. While any Telnet client can get you into the game, many users prefer that connection be properly and automatically handled seamlessly. Feature lists range from nothing at all to very robust development/player tools:

Feature Description
Scripts (triggers, highlights, squelches, etc) Allows the user to automate various tasks
Chats/IMs Allows users to communicate directly with other users without leaving the FE environment
Mapper Allows users to keep track of where they are or where they have been
Data management Allows users to keep notes and record various pieces of information for later use
Plugins Allows users to add features that the developers didn't or include utilities they need
