* ALIAS *

Sets/Resets/Changes/Lists user defined command aliases.  Use this command to
create or override a system default shortcut key to a command.

If for example you think a '<' is a better key for .remote than the default
'/' you could change it by typing ".alias .remote <" (without the quotes
silly).

From then on, when you use < at the beginning of the line, it will be 
translated into the .remote command.

You can specify multiple aliases with a single .alias command by just appending
all of the options with spaces between them, like this: 

    .alias .tell : .remote < .quit * .review =

These aliases are saved between logins.

You can remove all of your aliases by using:

    .alias .

eg .alias .tell :		/* sets a : to be .tell */
   .alias .tell			/* erases the alias for .tell */
   .alias			/* lists all your aliases */

   aliases will also show up on the .help screen in ()'s like this...

   tell (:)
