Need to create an ALIAS....

Hi GUYS,

I need to create an alias for the the connect statement.
I want to replace "CONNECT TO DBNAME" to "CONNECT TO DBNAME user USERID using PASSWORD"

I thought i will add an alias in the .profile.
But its not working. May be because i am trying to create it for 3 words instead of one word..
Please correct me wrong..
Please help me out with this..

Thanks for your help in advance,
Magesh.
