Thanks for the advise. I guess I don't understand how to use the alias. I'm in the Command Prompt window. I type alias, then a space, then the letter combination that I want to replace my long string with (example - pri=), then the string that I'm replacing, enter. After that, when I type pri it is the same thing as typing the long string that I was using. This doesn't work. Is there a space or other key I'm missing, or did I mis-understand your instruction?
Thanks.
