{{ALIAS command}}

	The {ALIAS} command defines alias to commands.

{{Synopsis}}

	${ALIAS [/f] name=command}

	Defines an alias.

	- {name} : Name of the alias to be created.

	- {command} : The command use to expand {name} on command line each
	time {name} is called. Obviously {command} can contain switches and
	parameters, but it is supposed to be static.
	
	- {/f} : create an alias even if {name} corresponds to an already defined
	alias or internal command.

	{ALIAS} allows redefining an internal command. This functionnality is
	interesting if you have to hook some internal command.

	{ALIAS} does not check that the aliases it creates are not self-calling
	(eg. no circular declariation). If {ALIAS} is used to create such
	aliases, these alias will lead to infinite loop (or even a lack of
	memory) when used.

	By default, There is only one {alias} defined by {dos9|Dos9}. It links
	{help|HELP} to {hlp|HLP}.


{{Compatibility}}

	 Does not exist in {cmd.exe}.
