Here is the relevant documentation:
Template:function=Send Send

The documentation for the Send script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.


Template:function=Execute Execute

The documentation for the Execute script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.



The summary of 'Send' is that it "sends a message to the MUD"; the summary of 'Execute is that it "executes a command as if you had typed it into the command window".

So, for example, 'Execute' will process aliases but 'Send' will not.
