cannot get simple alias to work correctly

Hello, I have been trying to get a very simple alias to work correctly. It is driving me CRAZY. I have googled for several hours and searched the forum. I realize the solution is probably simple but i can't find it anywhere.
Here is the problem:

'tel *' is the alias i am using which will send '@teleport %1' to the MUD

(I am using tinyMUX by the way)

when I type 'tel home' and push enter, this is the output:

@teleport home //<------alias printed to output
Limbo(#0RF) //<-------Now I'm here
Huh? (Type "help" for help.) //<------Why this????


I teleport to the room just fine. The MUD outputs the room but it also sends me a 'Huh? Type help for help' message just after.

Why does this second message appear? Sometimes it appears first, at the top, instead of at the bottom.

I suspect that when I type 'tel home' and push enter, two messages are simultaneously sent instead of just one. First, i think, MUSHclient sends '@teleport %1' to the MUD. And then second, it sends 'tel home' which is what produces the 'Huh?..' message. (In tinyMUX a '@' has to precede the teleport command)

I'm am very new to MUSHes and also MUSHclient so I apologize if I'm not asking this question correctly or if it has already been answered in another thread. Any help would be appreciated.

Ah, Thank you. That at least points me in the right direction.
