I'm not sure ... I don't know of one, but there might be one baked into the server code. Why do you ask?

Alias command for a long PM message. After toying with it for a while I found that when I shortened the message it did send so there does appear to be a character limit, but I did not spend the time to determine what that limit is.

On a similar yet other note I would like to discuss another alias function but was having trouble with it that I would like to discuss with you. It would be difficult to discuss via text, are you available to talk via Skype or TS? [email protected]

 

Edit: not tonight but some other day this week.

Ok, after some experimenting I believe i have limited down what i am looking to complete not making it as complex as originally thought, but...

 

 

Is there a way to create an Alias command which will respond via multiple lines rather than a single line?

shucks I was hoping that the command that allows the ATIS maker to send the text ATIS in multiple lines could also be used within an ALIAS.

What are you trying to send that requires such a long message or multiple lines?
