totally newbie question

okay..this is a totally newbie question i'm sure.     i tried to download
all the archived lists from ftp2.....and when i attempted to decompress them
i got "invalid data compression", so i couldnt look at the lists....

how do i go about making it so i dont have to type in the entire name of a
mob or player or object when using commands???  even is somebody could point
me in the right direction i would be most grateful.  and i really am sorry
for the "newbieness" of this question.  i have looked and looked through the
source code and cant seem to track it down to one function that parses the
commands (which i'm pretty sure it is..)

help please

thanks,

bill
