- When you become a rugular Shell user you find that it can be incredibly time
- consuming typing out long paths or names. With the Alias command you can
- set up the Shell to recognize a short word to mean a longer one. If you
- read the file S:Shell-Startup you will realise there are several aliases
- already built in. You can use Ed to add more. Without arguments, Alias
- tells you which commands are aliased already. With arguments you can set up
- your own aliases. There are some aliases on the CLI windows on this disk.
- Type Alias at the CLI prompt to find out what they are!
