is there some way to get an alias command to read somewhere other than the first word?
like...
cat = (alias) dog has a big nose and

typed = my cat smells
seen on mud = my dog has a big nose and smells

the alias is the second word... is there some way to tell the mud to read it when it is the second word?

You can use an #ONINPUT trigger for this. To do exactly what you asked for this should work:
#ONINPUT {cat} {#SUB {dog has a big nose and}} "" {notrig}

Note the NOTRIG option is used to prevent this trigger from refiring itself if you create it in such a fashion that it might. The example wouldn't be plagued by that problem, but I have not put that option on and found out just how stupid I can be before.

that would work, but i was thinking to try and save time, say like, i wanted to cast a spell, and so i have to type
cast '(spell)'
and that (spell) could be many different things
ex
cast 'protection from fire' looks like c pff
and
cast 'protection from good' looks like c pfg
is there anyway to do it so that the second alias is read along with the first?

You don't need an alias for cast. Just include it in the spell aliases.
#AL pff {cast 'protection from fire'}
#AL pfg {cast 'protection from good'}
