Alias

Syntax: ALIAS
Syntax: ALIAS <keyword>
Syntax: ALIAS <keyword> <command>:<command>:<command>.......

Typing ALIAS with no arguments displays the current aliases you have set.

Typing ALIAS <keyword> will delete a previously set alias.

Typing ALIAS <keyword> <command>:<command>:<command>:<command>... sets an alias.

Examples:

If you were to type alias food eat pie:drink waterskin:drink waterskin, whenever you then typed food you would attempt to eat a pie and to drink from a waterskin twice.

Typing alias food would then remove the alias.

You may also use variables in your aliases. See HELP ALIAS PARAMETERS for more information. An alias command cannot consist solely of a variable.

By etching your gear with a common word, you can create an alias to easily wear different sets.

Example: alias tank get all.tankgear bag:wear all.tankgear

The only limit to an alias's length comes from the total number of characters the MUD will process in one command (about 400).
