I can't load database properly!
 
Under zMUD5.55, I write an alias as the following,
#dbload db1
#math num %query(&name=@taskname)
But it never works unless I click the DB
button. The DB button seems to be the
prerequisite of any database command.

Hmm, I don't have 5.55 with me, but having the DB open is necessary so that the functions and commands associated with it are loaded into memory.

The statement: #math num %query(&name=@taskname) is strange.

%query returns a string list of record numbers, the #MATH command tries to evaluate an equation. The two can't be used together in this fashion.
