Oh, I use the grep command all the time in my aliases.
I have one that shows my experience, and (this is from memory, so it may
be off a bit)
but it's something like
level | grep experience
and then I just get two lines, one showing my current experience, and a
second line mentioning something about experience (don't remember what it
says) but I don't mind. I could eliminate that line by doing something
like
level|grep experience|head 1
That would just show me my total experience, and not the other line that
is talking about experience, but it doesn't bother me enough to change my
alias. :)
You can do all kinds of things by stringing commands together and using
grep, head, tail, and various other commands built-in to the alias set of
commands. One of these days I really need to pull out all of my aliases,
and do a write up on them and get it posted somewhere just to show folks
what's possible, because I don't think folks realize how much information
you can get yourself using the alias built-in commands and massage
capabilities of the mud.

Hi john.
Funny, i've never even heard of this command until I wanted a way to show the
done quests as I said, hence why i'd like a streight forward way of doing it.
fair enough if people find the grep thing useful, but maybe I'm just not good
with all this scripting malachy but I really am a bit stuck with what it's
for.
i know the principle that it's supposed to be for desplaying info without a
specific word or whatever, but again alter is so good with info commands I
really haven't needed to.
For example, the other day when I wanted to check if my cudgel had broke or
not by looking at my equipment and not getting the full list, someone
mentioned the "show weapon" command which was exactly the thing.
As I said, if people find the command useful fare enough, I'd just never even
heard of it until i asked about quest display and really can't think when
else it'd be needed that aren't covered by other commands such as as
eqsorting for example.
