I have created an alias that I use to gain experience for my character. It's a big while loop that essentially does these things:

Make sure the character is maxed out on health items.
Walk through dungeon, room by room to kill mobs to grind out experience.
When the character is running low on health items, return home and repeat the loop.

My alias works really well, but I have reached a point where my alias is so long that I can't seem to add anything more to it.

So my question is ... is there a way I can keep adding to my alias? (Like using an external editor?) I know if I go to World Settings -> Scripting -> Scripts, I can set up an external editor ... but I don't have any such option for aliases or triggers.

Here is the alias ... this version of it still has room to add more, but I can't add very many more rooms before I hit the limit.
