Exit Names

Is there a way to change the alias of an exit without it showing up in the side panel's Places and Objects list?

I want to change the alias for the exit list in the room description ("You can go to your living room" instead of "You can go south," for instance), but whenever I do, the exit will suddenly show up in Places and Objects, which I do not want.

What I do is turn off exits from the room descriptions (set to 0), and then type the exits in the actual description for each room. Obviously this is global; it will be like thast for every exit.

Set an alias attribute? I don't know.

Check the Scenery for the exit.
It will not show in the places and objects, and it will not be listed in the exit list.
But if you describe the exit in the room description, you can still go there...
IE:
You are in a room.
You can go blue door or green door.
On the west wall, there are 3 doors, a red door to the north, a blue door in the middle, and a green door south of that.

go red door

You are in an A1.
You can go east.

or normal...
You are in a room.
You can go red door, blue door or green door.
On the west wall, there are 3 doors, a red door to the north, a blue door in the middle, and a green door south of that.

go to red door

You are in an A1.
You can go east.

Thanks! I'll have to play around with some of these suggestions.
