Multi-line Aliases break commands globally

Description

Making a multi line alias as per wiki instructions, as follows:

/alias { /cmd1
/sleep 1 /cmd2
/sleep 1 /cmd3
}

Breaks the /sleep command because AdiIRC thinks it's an alias, telling me "1 Unknown Command" in the log.

There is a different syntax depending on whether you are using Tools -> Edit Aliases or Tools -> Edit Scripts

For Tools -> Edit Aliases the syntax is:

/aliashere {
/cmd1
/cmd2
/cmd3
}

For Tools -> Edit Scripts the syntax is:

alias aliashere [
/cmd1
/cmd2
/cmd3
}

Cheers, it looks like this one works if I don't put a command on the same line after {

I can test the next time I get dc/ed.
Was a bit overzealous with the bug reports. ;)

Great,

This used to be allowed as there is really no technical reason why it can't be allowed, but to have maximum compatibility with mirc scripting, it was changed.
