name  Alias:
<<syntax>>
<<Alias newName {(formal-parameter-list)} commandLine>>
<<description>>
<<Aliases provide a substitution macro facility for the first token on a line.   Alias bro bringover /o will cause bro mumble to be 
expanded into bringover /o mumble. Aliases can also be given an (optional) argument list, in which case the tokens on the command 
line following the alias name will be substituted for the formal parameters, e.g., Alias brob (file df) bringover /a /o file.mesa 
file.bcd df would cause brob rope rigging to expand to bringover /a /o rope.mesa rope.bcd rigging.df.>>
