Haven't tried it myself, and apologies for the use of goto

(dot) creeped into how this was percived to work, i dont know if that was addopted as the default idea or not, but i certianly would be insulted about mircs behavour if a command "/recovernick nick pass" was overwridden by "alias rec* { say In Regard to $1 : $2- }" First come first served isnt really going to work for anything in the real world ex.... "give my car to the guy in the blue shirt, red hat, named Bob whoe works at the Garage on 5th and main" "i gave your car to a guy in a blue shirt" YOU DID WHAT!!!!!!

Maybe there would be a option or something...

If /hello.world isn't found, then instead of throwing an error (like mIRC normally does), it would call /hello.. New username: hixxy

(from my first message on this) Quote: Also since ALIAS BLAH.one is a legal alias name, the alias locator would need to make a full pass over all alias and remotes files, looking for BLAH* and also BLAH.one, since it would only run BLAH* if no blah.one alias existed. hmmm seems i said it also to u guys.
