alias not working properly

I am trying to write aliases to use various portals in Aardwolf.

get time 1108784533
hold time
enter
put time 1108784533
dual @second

it will get the portal from the bag, hold it, enter it, then dual my offhand weapon. It will not put the portal back in the bag. It says I do not have that. If I copy and paste the exact line (put time 1108784533) it will put it in the bag.

My question is: Why won't it do it from the alias? Everything else works.

oh. You have to remove time first before putting it in a container.

<aliases>
<alias
match="losttime"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
sequence="100"
>
<send>get time 1108784533
hold time
enter
put time 1108784533
dual @second</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

that was it. this is what i have now. Thank you. I knew it would be something simple I overlooked.

<aliases>
<alias
match="losttime"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
sequence="100"
>
<send>get time 1108784533
hold time
enter
rem time
put time 1108784533
dual @second</send>
</alias>
</aliases>

One more question.

Can you not use variables in macros?

Make the macro call an alias. Then the alias can use variables.
