 echo.Usage:
-echo.	alias [/reload] [/d] [name=full command]
-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.	alias [options] [alias=full command]
+echo. 
+echo.Options:
+echo. 
+echo.     /d [alias]     Delete an [alias].
+echo.     /f [macrofile] Path to the [macrofile] you want to store the new alias in.
+echo.                    Default: %cmder_root%\config\user-aliases.cmd
+echo.     /reload        Reload the aliases file.  Can be used with /f argument.
+echo.                    Default: %cmder_root%\config\user-aliases.cmd
+echo.
+echo.	If alias is called with no parameters, it will display the list of existing aliases.
+echo.
 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/?
