Alias configuration (list)
Enable Aliases If checked, all aliases are enabled (active). Override with default aliases If checked, next time the world is loaded your aliases are replaced with the default ones. See the help topic on "defaults" for more details. Add... Click to add an alias. Edit... Click to edit an existing alias. Remove Click to remove one or more selected aliases from the list. Find... Click to find an alias based on its contents. Find Next Click to repeat the next find (find another one that matches). Load... Click to load aliases from disk. Save... Click to save selected aliases to disk. Move Up Click to move the selected alias up the list (in other words, lower its sequence number). Move Down Click to move the selected alias down the list (in other words, raise its sequence number). Copy Click to copy the selected alias(es) to the clipboard in XML format. Paste Click to paste the clipboard into the alias list. The aliases must be in XML format (such as produced by the Copy button). Only aliases will be pasted, if there are other types on the clipboard. Copy and paste is intended to allow you to get/put aliases onto the Forum, or exchange them between worlds or with other MUSHclient users. Filter by: Check to filter the visible items by the function "filter". Click on the button labelled "..." next to the "filter by" checkbox to enter the code for the scripted filter function. The filter function must be written in Lua and have a function named "filter" in the script, taking one argument which is the name (label) of the alias. For example, to show only aliases that do "send to script":
    function filter (s)
      return GetAliasInfo (s, 18) == 12
    end -- filter
You can use GetAliasInfo or GetAliasOption to find out information about that alias and work out whether to show it or not. If the function returns the boolean value "false" then the item is not shown, otherwise it is shown in the list. The filter script is saved in the world file, so you can use it again next time, however the filter flag is not remembered. You must explicitly enable it each time you want to filter the list.
