			'''Enabled''' This checkbox marks if the alias is currently being used by the system. If unchecked, this alias will not be used.

	'''Matching''' is what command you would like to assign to your alias. Usually this is a shorter version of a longer command. For example I may use 'arl' for 'apply restoration to legs'.

			To explain this alias step by step. In the first "talk" alias, we set a local var called "talk_counter" which increments by 1 every time we talk. Based on the value of that var, we choose a different version of talking to send to the client. (Sloshing around), or (Waving his hands) for example.
			The labels tell the If blocks, where to go based on the value of "talk_counter". When we reach the final If result, instead of going to a label, the script simple continues to the next line. At this point, we set the value of talk_counter back to 0, so we can start the loop all over again.
			Also note, the use to the "Stop" command, to prevent the script from continuing after reaching the end of a specific label.

	As you might have surmised, this creates a problem if you try to "SAY TO" somebody. To fix this, we create a second alias which handles the "SAY TO" input.

			In this second alias, we set two local variables, and change the alias to "sayto", so that we can capture the specific case of talking to a person instead of talking in general.

 The first action chosen is the basic "send a command", which sends the text "south" to the game. This is just like typing south into the command line.
 Next, we have the "wait for" action, which creates a temporary trigger, waiting for the words "There is a door in the way.".  If we get that message, then we send the next action which is, again, "send a command".  In this case we send two commands, one to open the door, and another to move south.
