Is there a way to totally clear your aliaslist in game, without doing it one by one?

Don't use nexus?

I use Mush, but the Ingame aliases, IE ALIASLIST. Wanting a way to delete them all, then make a set for each character, then import/export them if and when I switch

The in-game alias system should be used sparingly at best. You definitely won't find any way to export/import them, so I'd suggest you stick to making aliases in your client and avoid the in-game ones completely.

As somebody who uses a lot of aliases, I like the ingame alias ability. I don't use it for anything that needs a target or an argument of any kind though. Simple aliases is all.

I'm not always playing at my place, so I don't always have access to my clients. I could use a flash drive and port everything over, but that requires updating it often and I'm kind of forgetful when it comes to things like that. I get stuck on nexus, and the least I could have are the aliases I made on the server. Sure, I can't go off and effectively do much, but I can still effectively act like my character.

Yeah, I use the in game ones quite a bit for certain things. I have 26 aliases apparently. Stuff like sprinting and so on. I like them because I can still do the basic things easily no matter where I'm signing on from and avoid importing/exporting entirely. Can only use telnet in some labs, nexus at the library, etc.

But anyways, I don't really see a convienent way to doing what you want with the in game aliases Mysti. You could organize all the commands in a text file so you just have to copy/paste to "load/delete" sets of aliases I guess.

I save my zMUD settings to my flash drive and load them directly from the flash drive. I have to have zMUD installed on any machine I use, but I don't have to copy any files to keep it updated. (I do make backups to the hard drive periodically, though.)

I believe MUSHclient works when installed to (and run from) a flash drive, so that may be a possibility for anyone who moves around from machine to machine a lot. I've not tried this setup myself, however.
