| Notes |
The alias verb is useful when communicating with an application that expects an alias value as a parameter. The Frontier verb file.newAlias creates an alias file, a special Macintosh file type that contains an alias to another file (or to a folder or volume). This verb, on the other hand, creates an alias data structure that can be used by a receiving application in an IAC situation.
