Actually, this isn't a bug per se. In the 4DOS manual, page 24 (of the
current manual) it states (although not explicitly) that when 4DOS is
loaded in the resident mode:
"Aliases will not be inherited from a previous shell."
My experience shows this to be true. I suggest, as was suggested before,
try using the /S:B switch, or none at all, let it figure out what the best
method of swapping is.
