Help for: alias
A command to create and list command aliases
(Last Modified: Fri Sep 10, 2004)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax: alias [<word> [<substitution>]]

The alias command allows limited shortening of command names.  At this time,
aliases cannot call other aliases.  Alias by itself lists your current
aliases, alias <word> lists the alias with that name (if it exists), and
alias with both a word and and argument produces a new alias.  To use
multiple commands in an alias, separate them with semicolons (;).  You cannot
alias either alias or unalias to a new command, and only the first word on
the line will be substituted.  Examples of use:

alias gc get all corpse       --> "gc" will "get all corpse"
alias ff cast fireball        --> "ff orc" will "cast fireball orc"
alias swap rem axe;wear sword --> "swap" will "remove axe" and "wear sword"
alias food buy;eat            --> "food pie" will "buy pie" and "eat pie"
