The TurboTyper is a tool that can help you to type less by defining
shorthand  aliases for  both complete  and incomplete  commands. In
addition, the Turbotyper provides a history-function and a function
to do some commands sequentially by typing one do-string.

These commands are supported:
alias				show the list of current aliases.
alias <name>			show the alias <name>.
alias <name> <cmd>		add/replace <name> as shortcut for <cmd>.
alias -n <name> <cmd>		as above, but after <cmd> will be no space.
unalias <name>			removes the alias <name>.
do				pause the last 'do'-sequence.
do <cmd1>,<cmd2>,...,<cmdn>	do <cmd1>..<cmdn> sequentially.
resume				resume to paused commands.
history				show the last 20 commands (not directions).
%%				repeat last command
%<number>			repeat command <number> (see history).
%<string>			repeat last command beginning with <string>.


Examples:

alias g giggle		enables you to type 'g' to giggle,
			or type 'g happily' to giggle happily.

alias -n cl cd /lib/	enables you to type 'cl' to cd into /lib,
			or type 'cl human' to cd into /lib/human.
			(note that 'cd' is a wizard-command not available
			for players. The 'alias -n' can be used by
			players though.)

do smile,laugh evilly,g	will first make you smile, then laugh evilly,
			and then (with the upper alias) giggle.

Nobody's perfect, not even me, so if a bug occurs mail it to me, please.

Anyway, have fun with this wonderful tool,
