I'm a little confused with what you want, but I'm guessing you want Worldsay to appear on the command line, or in the input box, by pushing a button. I'm not really sure how to do this, but wouldn't it be a better idea to make it so that you have multiple input boxes with labels to show which represents things like World Say, OOC and Say? Or to make it by pushing a button, you start a proc to initiate one of the before-mentioned verbs?

Set the input elements verb to some verb, and in that verb check a variable to see what the player is outputting to and handle appropriately. Make each button change that variable as needed.
