THIS ARTICLE IS OUT OF DATE AND OBSOLETE!

Note:
The (fixed) old Quicktyper was substituted by Mangar's TurboTyper which
was later substituted by Mangar's Shell. In former times the Quicktyper
could be found and obtained in the small and dusty storage room west of
the 'All the Stuff and More', the shop in Nemesis Village.

The quicktyper is a tool to help you type less by defining shorthand
aliases for complex commands. These are the commands of the QT:

alias <name> <command>	- make <name> a shorthand for <command>
alias			- show the list of current aliases
alias <name>		- remove alias <name>
do cmd1,cmd2,cmd3,..	- do a series of commands in sequence
do			- pause execution of a series of commands
resume			- resume paused commands
history			- give a list of previous commands
%%			- repeat last command
%<number>		- repeat command number <number>
%<string>		- repeat last command beginning with <string>

Examples:
  'alias lw look at watch'      enables you to type 'lw' to look at your watch.
  'do smile,look,laugh'         will first make you smile then look and laugh.
			doing '%%' will then repeat these three commands again.

Error messages that tell you that a function cannot be found are caused by
the LP MUD security system, and cannot be avoided.
The quicktyper can be found in the storage room of the village shop.
