The issue is that in the Win32 binary packages, I don't
move any of the *cnf.dst files to *.cnf. Thought it looks
like mush.cnf slipped into the package this time. I don't
like doing that because they will overwrite the custom
.cnf files of people already running an older version of
the Win32 binaries. Granted, they should be backing those
up before upgrading to a new version, but not everyone
does. Anyhow, the solution is for you to copy aliascnf.dst
to alias.cnf then do a @shutdown/reboot. I would recommend
doing the same thing with the other *cnf.dst files so that
you get some of the 'basic' behavior in regard to
restrictions and such.

As for @describe not saving... I just tested it on the
180p2_BSD zip from the site and it works just fine. If you
haven't gotten it working yet, I'll need more information.

help @attribute is what you are looking for, particularly
@attribute/access which lets you set different permussions
for non-standard attributes (and actually makes them
standard attributes so @<atty> works).
