%1ALIAS%0
%1<<%0 a command of convience%1>>%0

An alias allows you to make an easy to type <and remember>
a one-word command that represents a longer string of instructions to
the mud. To see what you have already definded as an alias, type
the word "alias" and hit return.
To create a new alias, simply type the word "alias" followed by the
special keyword that you would like to type to trigger the alias, and
the command or commands which you would like the alias to perform.
You may have the alias perform multiple commands by seperating
them by and asterisk, as though the enter key were hit where the
asterisks occur. The example below is a good food alias.

%1alias %6food%1 get bread bag%6*%1 eat bread%6*%1put all. bread bag%0

You may also use wildcards in your alias, placeholders to be filled
when you use the alias. Use the special codes &1 through &9 as
your wildcards, placing the code where you would normally have
a word. The example below shows a magic missle alias which can
target any victim.

%1alias%6 mm %1cast 'magic missle'%6 &1%0

And to use that alias you would only need to type:
%1mm%6 fido%0
which replaces the &1 with whatever immediately follows the keyword.

You can also use more than one variable in one alias, hence the
use of &1, &2, &3, and so forth through &9. This could be used 
to so several things to several targets.

%1alias%6 mm %1cast 'magic missle'%5 &1%6 * %1spank%5 &2%6 *%1 woot%5 &3%0
%1mm%6 fido vall mouseglove%0
Which would assault a fido, spank Vall, and woot Mouseglove in one shot.

%1alias%6 tn%1 tell Valdar%6 &%%%0
%6tn%1 boy do you smell!
%1You tell Valdar, "Boy do you smell!"
