Hi Ya
I want to give aliases long & short names (w/o duplicating the entire
alias)
alias fred='echo "goat"'
alias f=fred
Both f & fred now echo goat but is this actually "legal" and will it
always work?

Yes, aliases are evaluated recursively except that each individual alias
won't be expanded inside replacement text for itself.
