Hey everybody,
As some of you may remember, I added cell phones to my MUD a coupla
months ago, using the 10 digit ID number as a phone number. Well, this is a
rather long number, and hard to remember, so I have been trying to use a
system like the aliases to store numbers and match them with a name, which
can then be easily used from my phone command (store John 1034627163, phone
John will dial 1034627163) but I can't get it to store the numbers, just a
long list of errors on compile. I think it has something to do with the fact
that the second part has to be a number, not a string, but I have no idea how
to get it to work. I'm attaching my alias code to this message, if anyone
out there has time, I'd greatly appreciate help altering the alias/unalias
commands into phonestore/phonelist/phoneremove commands.
Thanks in advance,
Zack
