set-alias for complex call

Question

I\'m trying to set an alias for accessing my scheme interpreter. I tried the following:

set-alias scheme \'& \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MIT-GNU Scheme\\bin\\         


        

Answer 1

The alias feature is meant for simple name aliases and doesn't allow for arguments. What you need is a function e.g.:

function scheme {
    & "C:\Program Files (x86)\MIT-GNU Scheme\bin\mit-scheme.exe" --library "C:\Program Files (x86)\MIT-GNU Scheme\lib"
}
