Is it possible to set my agent's default output channel (for say,shout,etc) to something other than 0?

Currently when I speak it goes out on channel 0.

I'm working on scripts with listeners on an arbitrary channel.
So I have to type commands like
/23 build
/23 alldie
etc

I want to change my default output channel to 23 so I simply have to type
/build or /alldie

I'd have to then type /0 hi
If I wanted to speak to people.

If I could make a listener that could absorb any channel 0 communication from me, I could redirect to 23, but since listeners pass through any communication I can't do this.

I want an efficient CLI where speaking to other people is the exception.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

altho i dont suggest it you can use listen filters on channel 0 to only act when you are giving a command, i dont suggest it becuase the object still scans everything on said channel, eventho it would react only to you

its handy when your triggering test/debug things instead of typing /23 go or //go or whatever 24000 times . but total crap for production

course theres always llDialog, which personally makes the /chan commands look like an atari (versus an apple ][e heh) in the future we might have a text box for dialog which would totally obliterate the /chan comands
