echo.     /reload  Reload the aliases file
echo.     /d       Delete an alias (must be followed by the alias name)
echo.
echo.	If alias is called with any parameters, it will display the list of existing aliases.
echo.	In the command, you can use the following notations:
echo.	$* allows the alias to assume all the parameters of the supplied command.
echo.	$1-$9 Allows you to seperate parameter by number, much like %%1 in batch.
echo.	$T is the command seperator, allowing you to string several commands together into one alias.
echo.	For more information, read DOSKEY/?
