I am having a tad bit of trouble with the library i am making....
command <smell; object>
parameter <smell object; objects>
parameter <smell; text >
display <smell |cg$2|cb>

i am trying to get it so in the menu after it is selected the player can type smell #@object# and smell the object typed in...

HEEEELLLLPPPP...

You don't say exactly what the problem is, but what will happen after you've written that interface part is, when the game author selects that command, the resulting ASL will be "do <smell(smell object; smell)>, where "smell object" and "smell" are the parameters typed in.
You then need to add a procedure called "smell" to your library that accepts these parameters and does whatever you want to happen when the player smells anything.
