    or: ALIAS new_keyword TO old_keyword$       (SAILA_CODE)
Location: ALIAS (DIY Toolkit - Vol A)

This command is similar to NEW_NAME and REPLACE.

It allows you to assign another name to machine code Procedures and Functions which are currently resident in memory.  Both versions of the command are the same, except that the second variant expects you to pass the two parameters in the opposite order.

The parameter (old_keyword$) must appear as a string and is the original name of the Procedure or Function which is to be renamed.  The parameter (new_keyword)is the new name to be used - this must appear simply as the actual keyword to use.

The original definition is not lost and therefore you can still use the original name.

Example:
ALIAS 'INPUT' TO XINPUT

CROSS-REFERENCE:
See also REPLACE and NEW_NAME.  _NAME$ allows you to look at the name table.
