From "help alias":

Flags accepted:

-clear Clears all aliases.
-global Shows standard (un-overridable) aliases.
*alias                   View current aliases.
*alias <alias> <command> Set the verb alias to execute command.
*alias <alias>           Check the value of <alias>.
*unalias <alias>         Remove <alias> from the alias list.

Substitution variables that exist are:

$# - Where # is the number of the word after the verb to substitute.
$* - Will be substituted with everything after the verb.

Prefixing the alias' verb with a $ allows you to set up a verb that does not require a space after it. i.e. "alias $' say $*" will allow you to do says as:

'Hey! This is most Stufly!

Look at the default aliases for examples.


Be careful not to alias a word which is already a command. For example, "alias kill kiss lloyd" would make it easier to kiss Lloyd, but would make it impossible to kill any monsters. :)

  • The total number of aliases allowed for you is: 100
