However, I don't seem to be able to get Alias to do anything.
How odd. I get a compile error. Doesn't highlight in the editor either...BTW, if the link isn't working for people, inspect the domain. It's pointing to blitzbasic.com. If your login cookie is associated with another domain ( blitzbasic.co.nz or blitzmax.com for example ) change the domain in the URL and it should work for you.
