ALIas:DEFine
Assigns a sequence of program messages to an alias label. These messages are
then substituted for the alias whenever it is received as a command or query,
provided that ALIas:STATE has been turned on. The query form of this
command returns the definitions of a selected alias.
NOTE. Attempting to give two aliases the same name causes an error. To give a
new alias the name of an existing alias, the existing alias must first be deleted.
