Lets you assign an abbreviated sequence of characters to represent
    a longer string of text. You may then use the EXPAND command to
    produce the longer string each time the cursor is at the end of
    the abbreviated sequence.

    Format

      DEFINE ALIAS   alias-name [value]

1  –  Qualifiers

1.1    /INDICATED

    Instructs LSE to interpret the contiguous sequence of characters
    before and after the cursor as the alias (long form) for an alias
    name (short form) that you supply. To specify which characters
    are valid in an alias name for the language you are using, issue a
    DEFINE LANGUAGE command with the /IDENTIFIER_CHARACTERS qualifier.

    When you use the /INDICATED qualifier, you must not specify the
    value parameter.

1.2    /LANGUAGE

       /LANGUAGE=language-name

    Specifies the language associated with the alias. The default is
    the language for the current buffer.

2  –  Parameters

 alias-name
    Specifies the name to be defined as an alias. The characters in
    the alias name must be in the /IDENTIFIER_CHARACTERS string in the
    DEFINE LANGUAGE command.

 value
    Specifies a quoted string. When you expand the alias, LSE replaces
    the alias name with the string given by the value parameter.
    You must not use a value parameter if you specify the /INDICATED
    qualifier.
