While I don't recommend actually doing this (mmmh, then why am I telling you
 you about it?) here it is (hope you know C):

In the file parse_cmd.c, there is a function named parse_command.
It looks, in part, like this:

>    while (*command == ' ')
>        command++;
>    switch (*command) {
>      case '"':
>        verb = "say";
>        goto finish_specials;
>      case ':':
>        verb = "emote";
>        goto finish_specials;

So, if you wanted to add the alias ' for page, then you'd add:

>      case '\'':
>        verb = "page";
>        goto finish_specials;

Somewhere in the switch().

Then recompile/remake, then restart.

Again, I don't recommend doing this, it's much easier to do this in-db, via
 Seth's instructions.
