Looking for a way (maybe a command?) to list all aliases in a class on-screen... I thought there might be a command, but I haven't been able to find it.

And another dumb question...

...if I wanted to substitute a 'z' for every 's' at the end of a word, how would the guru's suggest I go about it?

So that if I said "coins" on a channel for instance, the script would substitute "coinz" instead.

I'm going to hate myself for this.

text = %subregex(@text,"s\b","z")

Hate yourself? For the regex? ;)

Yes because coinz is terrible whereas coins is not -- that's English purism for you :)

If you want to list only aliases in one class, you will need to use the ZMUD COM object. If you simply want to list all the aliases in memory at the time of issuance, use the #ALIAS command. The formatting will not be very pretty and/or easily readable, because it's also going to list all the code in those aliases. One plus to this, though, is that it's printed exactly as it's shown in the settings editor so with pretty printer/syntax checker on it will properly indent (aside from the skew created by the "name code" alignment for that first line of code).
