+Command Description: 
+ 
+This command is used to create short synonyms for system command expressions.
+For example, the following synonyms might simplify commands you often use.
+ 
+)synonym save         history )save
+)synonym restore      history )restore
+)synonym mail         system mail
+)synonym ls           system ls
+)synonym fortran      set output fortran
+ 
+Once defined, synonyms can be used in place of the longer command
+expressions. Thus
+ 
+)fortran on
+ 
+is the same as the longer
+ 
+)set fortran output on
+ 
+To list all defined synonyms, issue either of
+ 
+)synonyms
+)what synonyms
+ 
+To list, say, all synonyms that contain the substring ``ap'', issue
+ 
+)what synonyms ap
