Thanks.  I put most of my comments in my reply to Dave's post, so I won't
repeat that here.  However, I do have one question ...

Can you explain what the difference is between

   alias :uu :tt

and simply

   alias uu tt

to me? Are they equivalent or is there some difference I'm missing?

These ":xxx" things are something else I need to do some careful
reading about!
