Hmm, someone implementing who's never mudded before? I would have thought
that alias arguments would have been one of the first things you'd have
learnt as a player.
Yeah, the $* takes the rest of the line, sometimes that's not very useful
though.
$1, $2 etc can be used for individual words, e.g.
alias mmm cast 'magic missile' $1; cast 'magic missile' $2
would cast magic missile at two targets, when you type:
mmm fred bill
Anyway. Maybe more info than you wanted.
