Function aliases

All software modules are invoked by a function name which has been assigned to the module. The list of valid function names are contained in the SSI_ETC:commands.ssi file. This file contains a table of function names and the alias (some other name) by which you may refer to the function name.

The standard set of aliases are exactly the same as the function names. You may however create any number of aliases for a function by editing the SSI_ETC:commands.ssi file. The file is a free format file with two fields which are delimited by 1 or more Tab characters. The first field is the alias by which you may refer to the function name and the second field is the function name itself.

You must not change the function names (the second field) but you may change or add the aliases for the functions. The file is not included here as it is too extensive for this manual. You may print the file or edit it with any text file editor.
