Help Index :: Misc :: Alias SYNTAX: alias : lists your aliases alias [-#] : create new alias or replace existing alias alias : deletes the alias DESCRIPTION: This command allows you to replace a commonly used phrase by a shortened version. Anywhere you type the abbreviation it replaces it with the substitution. If the first letter of the abbreviation is a * then the alias only takes affect if the first word on the line. Preceding an alias with an * makes the alias only take effect if it is the first thing typed on a line. You can also specify a minimum number of letters to match by using the "-#" argument, e.g. "-5". Creating aliases that contain multiple commands require you include the '&' character between each command. EXAMPLES: alias df drink fountain : to drink from a fountain, type df. alias df : deletes df alias. alias *ef eat food : to eat food, type ef, and it will only occur if typed at the beginning of the line. alias -3 snicker emote snickers annoyingly. : does an emote if you type sni, snic, snick, snicke, or snicker, but *not* s or sn.
