I'd like to give a better format to looking at my inventory instead of the following.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<16206hp 2359m 5110mv> inv
You are carrying:
(Humming) a red steel warhammer called, "Mage Masher"
king's sword of the wizardry of the colossus
a vial of black poison powder
amulet of the Fountain
(Like New ) the Shield of Heroes
Kinson's Pouch of Ingredients
Kinson's costume sack
<16206hp 2359m 5110mv>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instead of seeing You are carrying: etc. etc.

I'd like to make it look something like this.

Kinson's Inventory List

Weapons: 2
Containers: 2
Shields: 1
Misc: 2

<16206hp 2359m 5110mv>

My problem is displaying the end results properly. Which would be best to use #show, #echo, #say? How can I get the variable counters (the variable that keeps track of the # of weapons, containers, etc) to show the correct number if I have a long inventory list? Right now, I have an alarm to display the newly formatted output. Is there a better way than setting up an alarm to display the new output?

I would check out %countlist function. For the most part its just what your looking for.

First create some triggers to parse your inventory and add what type it is to a eqlist variable (and gag the line).
When inventory list is done (you get another prompt) you should have something close to whats shown below...
