The mud I play atm has a 'ride' feature where I can ride up to twenty rooms in one step. The command is 'ride <dir> <#>'
I was hoping to create a function (or by any other means) by which I can reverse an alias the same way .. reverses a path.

In particular, an alias such as this:

re 11;u;re;.ne;rn;.wn;rw;.sw;rs 2

would return:

rn 2;.en;re;.se;rs;.ws;rw;d;rw 11
( ^or ..sw)

I presume or maybe assume or even conclude that someone here will be able to resolve this easily.

Please and thank you,
Bob

What you want is a #PATH not an #ALIAS

I am a fool. In my previous post, the rn, rs, re, or rw each refer to an alias for "ride south" or "ride east", so the commands to the MUD are "ride south 2". Is it going to be possible to make a path which will send those commands and reverse them just by .. instead of .?

hmm... That may be an issue... unless you want to go through the effort of making custom directions to replace the aliases so the mapper can understand it.
