Done FTP / HTTP URLs in directory aliases

[Joe Caverly]

Could the ALIAS command in the help file be updated to note that directory aliases can include FTP / HTTP URLs

Example:

alias jpsoft:=http:\\jpsoft.com

That's not really a directory alias; it's just an alias that substitutes an URL. Which then invokes a browser, without changing any directories.

Aren't all directory aliases mere substitutions?

FTP might be a better example.

v:\> alias vftp: ftp://vefatica.net

v:\> type vftp:\hello.txt
Hello world!
