Dear two professional developers,

     I have received all your comments and read them carefully. Thank you
very much for all your replies! They are very detailed, convincing, and now
I indeed believe that official alias is really not a good idea. BTW, from
Xen's opinion, there is still one question attracting me, but not very
important. Just list it here for fun. Why some commands like "move-->mv"
and "copy-->cp" have short form, whereas the command "clear" does not? I
think "clr" can also be a good name for "clear." Maybe it's about history
of Linux!

Sincerely,
Alan Tsai
