Just chipping in my 2c:<BR>
<BR>
How about the modules are supposed to register the 'command' whatever that is, but that the 'command' can include spaces?<BR>
<BR>
So, "create user" should be a valid command, sending the remainder to that region (via the registered delegate).<BR>
<BR>
which means another module can register "create region" but not "create user", as that would have already been registered.<BR>
<BR>
Of course, it cannot register a non-character terminated subset either, like simply "create".<BR>
<BR>
the command parser would simply run thru the list, doing a 'starts with characters' match, probably with a non-character terminator in the regexp.<BR>
<BR>
(If you're really anal on performance, the whole list of matches can be concatenated into a regexp and compiled once)<BR>
<BR>
Of course, you would have to register "help create user" as well, but it seems to me that there could be an abstract base class providing some protected generative helper functions.<BR>
<BR>
(To either create and register verb+" "+noun and/or noun+" "+verb, and the corresponding help text in one go)<BR><BR>
This seems like the most flexible approach to me, as it poses no limitations on what commands makes the most sense for each context.<BR>
