Title : account-wide aliases

Aliases can now be made account-wide (global). Once again,
it's important to note that character aliases take effect
over account-wide aliases. 'help alias' for some help.

If you 'alias b bow' and 'alias account b tip' if you type 'b'
you will bow. if you log in another character that has no
'b' alias and do 'b' you will tip instead. You can clear
your aliases with 'alias -clear' and 'alias account -clear'.

Unalias works as well - 'unalias account b' will remove the above
'tip' alias.

Experiment with it and let me know if there are any bugs. Don't
forget it's kina kludgy the overlaying of these commands (do this
command unless I have another command already set) so don't get
yourself too confused. This should allow some pretty powerfu
aliases which I'm looking forward to seeing.

For instance, you SHOULD be able to do something like this:

'alias account b START SKILL TARGET'
and then on your ooze maybe you nickname START = do, SKILL =
engulf. Maybe on your mage it's START = cast SKILL = blast.

Should work. This obviously is kind of for 'power users' that
really wanted this feature.

Enjoy.
