Ok, so my login name is clarke, but you can call me dumb.
When I send the word recall to the mud server, my zmud v6.15 creates the line 'recall ;#RECALL'
or maybe it's ';#RECALL' as the original word is repeated when pressing enter.
Any idea why?
I'm sure there is not aliases, variables or triggers set in my database which will respond to this word.

recall is used for the mapper, its possible there is a default alias called recall in the system folders. if you don't use the mapper, you can delete it.

Ah, thanks Talahaski, but I do use the mapper :(
Is it possible to remove this default alias without affecting my mapper and it's functions?
Or can you tell me how removal will affect my mapper?

The purpose of this alias is to help keep the mapper current with you location when you recall. This is done by defining a recall location in the mapper and the use of the #RECALL command. If it is send the line as you indicated to the mud then I would assume you have redefined your command seperator character. You may want to override the inheritted alias with one that contains the proper seperator.

In any case removing the alias will not damage anything. It is rather dificult to remove though since it is stored in the default.mud file as part of the basic setup. If you want it to do nothing then override it with new contents of "~recall"

The problem is your Separator Character, which you have either disabled or changed to something other than the default semi-colon. You can fix this by re-enabling and/or changing the Separator Character back to a semi-colon.

If you don't want to do that, you can define your own recall alias which will override the default alias. Just replace the semi-colon with whatever character you thought was a better choice for Separator.
#AL recall {~recall %-1;#RECALL}
