Alternately, one could add in as the first word in the alias list "longsword" (in this example) or whatever the "proper" name for the item should be. At least this is the way we are (trying) to get our builders to do things, and for the most part it seems to work just fine. They do the alias list right, and you get somewhat normal messages as to the use of the items (including sales). David
