- SYNOPSIS
- Alias [alias [string] ]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This command lets you make short names (aliases) for
- longer command strings. When a word is typed on the CLI,
- AmigaDOS will subsitute a longer string for it. This
- longer string may also contain arguments as well as
- commands. It can also display a list of alias
- assignments.
-
- For an alias to become global it MUST be entered in
- the s:shell-startup script. Otherwise, it can only be
- used by the shell that created it or through the NewCLI
- command called from the same shell it was created.
