Use at the server console to define an alias. An alias is a user-defined keyword
that represents a string. (The string can include both spaces and punctuation.)
When you enter the keyword at the command line, the server replaces the
word with the string. The keyword remains in effect until you restart the
server.
WARNING:
If you are associating a keyword with a command string, make sure
that you do not inadvertently leave out the keyword. If you do leave out the
keyword, the first word in the command string becomes the keyword. If you then try
to execute the command, the server will interpret it as a keyword, not as a
command.
For example, if you enter ALIAS LOAD INSTALL, LOAD becomes a keyword for
INSTALL. If you then try to execute a LOAD command, the server displays a
message saying that INSTALL has been replaced by NWCONFIG.
