i've just downloaded and installed savitar, but can't figure out how to use the scripts.. then manual shows a window labled "Events" when referring to scripts but i can't find it on my Savitar.. how do you run scripts?

In the Window menu, select Show Events Window (cmd-E). Then go to town.

Ok, it's quite possible I'm an idiot. But can someone explain how you would setup basic client side aliases?

I believe there are some examples in the manual, but basically you have it look for whatever you want the command to be in the input (make sure that's the one checked) and then have it replace that with whatever it is the MUSH wants to see. I hope that makes sense. If not, check th manual.
