what i am trying to do is help make a script to set up a quest for the mud.
i want to go to every zone. random pick 1 room and bury a cube and pick 5 rooms and bury a coin. I am getting lost. I think i have a decent start on the script but i am very new to writing scripts.

This should do it for you. Just copy and paste all of it into the command line. I started by deleteing the existing portions of your script I could see so it would all be clean. The outer loop is preformed by a slightly recursive combination of the alias an the alarm. This is better since your zone list has nearly 200 entries. If a series of straight loops were used you would send close to 2400 commands to the mud in a second. While I am sure the mud wouldn't boot an imm for doing that it is still not a good thing to do. This way you send about 6 per second. You can always adjust the speed of the alarm. As a side note I created the alarm by the #TRIGGER command with the alarm option, it is a back method, but I didn't feel like poping up the help just to make sure that #ALARM supports the disable option.

i was not sure if the zone counter will just add 1 to the last number or will it pull the next number in the list.
the list skips around a little bit. becouse not all the zones are used..the zonelist has the zones that are used.

I would suggest looking up, in the help, any and all functions or commands in the script I wrote that you do not understand. I am quite certain, however, that I met or exceeded all the requirements you specified in your original post.
