ooh yeah i didn't notice the alias wasn't returning $null at the end laugh seems you can even use:

Code:
alias -l info {
  if (!$istok(begin end,$1,32)) return [color:red]$[/color]$hget(table,$1).item :echo -a $hget(table,$1).data
}


which should be quicker still as it eliminates an extra condition shocked
