Setting up questions Similar to SVO's vinstall?

  Basically, you want the install variable to like... Set a variable.. Say.. zinstall, to true.
  Then in all of the aliases, you want a secondary part to each of them that is like...
   if zinstall == true then
      <whatever> 
   end
  
  For the command line thing, you want something like this:
  
  

  tempTimer(0.1, [echo("\n Whatever has now been set... What would you like to do for <next alias>")]])

  tempTimer(1, [[clearCmdLine()]])

  tempTimer(1.5, [[appendCmdLine("zalias whatever ")]])

  Then you can put what you want at the end of that 'zalias whatever' ... Then you'd put one of the aforementioned 'if zinstall == true' in that next alias, and go until necessary. Then on the final alias, you'd set zinstall to false, if it's currently true.

  I'd do it thus:
  
  Have a table set up with all of the variable names and their (default) values in it:
  
  

  zukoVar = zukoVar or {}
  zukoVar.tbl = zukoVar.tbl or {
  	["elmpipe"] = "123456",
  	["left_arm"] = "5",
  	--put in whatever you want here as default
  }

  
  Then have an alias to update them *not tested, probably got errors:
  
  

  $zconfig (\w+) (.+)$

  
  

  if not matches[2] then				--no argument, display all
  	for k,v in pairs(zukoVar.tbl) do
  		cecho("\n<white>[<green>-<white>]<reset>"..k.." "..v)
  	end
  else
  	if not table.contains(zukoVar.tbl,matches[2]) then
  		cecho("\n<red>///<reset> "..matches[2].." not found in table <red>///<reset>")
  
  	elseif not matches[3] then		--display current entry
  		cecho("\n<white>[<green>-<white>]<reset>"..matches[2].." "..zukoVar.tbl[matches[2]])
  	else
  		zukoVar.tbl[matches[2]] = matches[3]
  		cecho("\n"<green>/// <reset> "..matches[2].." set to <white>"..matches[3].." <green>///<reset>")
  	end
  end

  
  You could add links to the variable names to click them to autopopulate the command line, etc. You'll probably want some kind of mechanism to save the contents of the table to an external file and automatically re-import them when you log in so they persist through sessions, etc.
