[Opensim-users] Quick scripting question for OS commands.

[InuYasha Meiji]

Yes, this is what I was looking for.  I mistakenly a bit on vocabulary 
there.  I haven't broken my regions into parcels, right now they all 
belong to me.  Now by using the commands associated with 
osParcelSetDetails()/llParcelGetDetails(). and add and remove the 
windlight codes to the parcel description to get the weather environment 
to change.

Thank you very much.
