I was attempting to replace an alias with a new one, had entered all the information, and hit '$' to
update.  I received the following message:

   Updating your personal alias file...
   Error - whitespace in alias 'tech mtu' is not allowed.

   ** Not saving tables!  Please fix and re-run!

I exited to fix my aliases.text, and there were 9 entries left out of 97, and most of my other
files were trashed also.
