OK, this is simple enough. The trick is to make the keypad configuration send words (like 'keypad-0' which are then picked up by an alias.

First enter keypad configuration and assign a different word to each key, like this ...

Now add aliases for each of those words. To expand out a variable check 'expand variables', like this ...

To assign the target name you can just use the variables configuration screen, or make an alias like this ...



<aliases>
  <alias
   match="keypad-0"
   enabled="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>target = InputBox ("Enter new target name", "Target")
if target <> "" then
  SetVariable "target", target
end if</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>



(Copy between the lines and click on the 'Paste' button in the Alias configuration list).

Now pressing keypad '0' will bring up a dialog box asking for the new target name. Enter it and it will be assigned to the variable 'target' which is used in the earlier alias.

What is it doing? Is it sending "keypad-0" to the MUD? Is there an error message?

As this alias uses "send to script" then scripting must be enabled for it to work.

You can make a simpler alias, eg.

Match: target *
Send: %1
Send to: Variable
Variable name: target

Then just type "target fred" to set the target to fred.

In this version they are reserved, so you cannot use them.

Keypad 9 is an alias?

Just press Ctrl+Enter in the "send" box to send it as two separate lines.
