Code: /load -aN <file> /reload -aN <file> (The -N on reload is simply to keep it consistent since it's already capable of loading aliases.) Last edited by Wiz126; 26/03/13 04:05 PM.

I could see this being used in some nasty ways. Just a though. Last edited by HorseC; 27/03/13 05:39 AM. Help others! It makes the world a better place, Makes you feel good, and makes you Healthy!

You can already load an alias. Other than placing an alias at the top that breaks other aliases, there really isn't any more danger there than currently.

I could see this being used in some nasty ways. Just a though. If a user is loading a file without knowing or trusting its contents, then they're already in danger. These commands don't make anything worse.
