| Code: |
#oninput {^gossip (*)$} {
//this kills whatever you originally typed so that it does not get sent to the mud along with the result you're looking for
#noinput
//this is where you do all the scripty stuff to get what you want
#send %format("gossip [Winning] &s [Winning]",%1)
} |

MattLofton seems to have made it a bit harder than it needs to be.
Honestly, you can do this:
| Code: |
| #ALIAS gos {#SEND "gossip [Winning] "%-1"[Winning]"} |
MattLofton's example would have been entered on the command line. It creates an 'oninput' trigger type that executes like an alias. #SEND and %format, as well as #oninput, all happen to be in zMUD, too. But for simplicity, you can do what I have.
Just make sure you use "gossip" in the #SEND part, otherwise it'll go into recursion. |

if you remove the #send from the beginng of it it fixes the issue, i guess the #Send is not neccesary when using it as an alias
