Ok this is probably easy to clear up but I cant for the life of me work a way out. (being 4am here probably doesnt help)

Here is my problem:
The mud I play on uses the * character as a name variable in emotes.
e.g. emote With a smile * dances. This gives With a smile "my name" dances.

What I wish to do is create an aliased emote that will accept text into it.

#alias smile1 {emote smiles warmly, "(use * here for text)"}

so the sent result would be

Remus smiles warmly, "Greetings blah blah blah."
but what I get at present is

smiles warmly,"(Remus)."

Any ideas appreciated.

Below is the exact alias I am trying to get to work.
