So how do I color the word Cat and not have it color the first three letters of Cathode too?

I am coloring names of guild characters and some are 3 and 4 letter names that pop up frequently in room descriptions, room names, and general conversation.

#CLASS {Assassins}
#ALIAS addassassin {#ADDITEM assassinlist}
#ALIAS delassassin {#DELITEM assassinlist}
#VAR assassinlist {Moop|Juohn|Tim|Star|Cat|Caterine|Bob}
#TRIGGER {{@assassinlist}} {#CW 57} "" {case}
#CLASS 0

Also the add and delete commands don't seem to work anymore. I think these were from Zmud. Should I be using something else in Cmud?

Use the %q word boundary wildcard:

#TR {%q{@assassinList}%q} {#CW 57} "" {case}

Thank you! That works perfectly now.

Any idea why the add\delete commands are not working?

You are essentially passing it nothing so it adds and removes nothing.
Implied concatenation doesn't always work.

#ALIAS addassassin {#ADDITEM assassinlist %params}

In zmud that alias would let me type
addassassin Billy
and it would add Billy to the assassinlist...

Right, that is the implied concatenation I was talking about.
Add the %params and it will start working again.
