| How is this supposed to work? Does the MUD support colours like that?
What you want, anyway, is:
alias: say *
send: say &W%1
Otherwise it won't match. The * is a wildcard-matcher. |

| Are you on an MXP-enabled MUD?
With MXP inactive, this is what I get:
say hello
say &Whello
You say, "&Whello"
However, with MXP on it thinks "&Whello" is an entity (like ") and supresses it, because it isn't in its entity list.
So, if the MUD is an MXP MUD it should be converting & to & however I gather you are typing &W because you want a colour, not to see &W echoed back at you.
I'm trying to work out what you are wanting here. Is the &W supposed to convert to a colour at the client end, or is the server supposed to handle it? If the server is supposed to do it, it seems it isn't, that is your problem.
What happens, if you type "say &Whello" without using an alias? Does that work? If not, then the alias isn't going to do much more than that. |

| | I can't see what difference using the alias would make. It should work. What is the MUD? I can try it myself - when it is up. |
