                                Command : MULT

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: mult <CNUM/CNAME> <NUMBER>

The mult command allows a nation to set price multipliers of  the  goods  they
are selling.

The <CNUM/CNAME> argument is the number or name of the nation  for  which  you
want  to reset the multiplier, and <NUMBER> is the new multiplier (a floating-
point number). If no arguments are given, you are prompted for  them.  A  car-
riage return or incorrect nation at this prompt allows the changing of all the
price multipliers.

For example, if one nation is a  nice  nation,  and  another  is  particularly
unfriendly,  the  price  multiplier  for the nice one might be 0.75, while the
nasty nation might have one around 5.

The price multiplier affects the price of a nation's goods to  other  nations.
Final  item  price  is  determined by multiplying the price of the item at the
time of the sale by the individual price multiplier for the nation buying  the
item.  You cannot have a price multiplier below 0.05.
