I'm swotting up on Aliases and paths etc and I am puzzled about
getting TIBODatabase to accept the alias.

I have created a "Test" entry in the aliases file.

When I type "Test" in the "path" property of the TIBODatabase and then
examine the TIBODatase by right clicking & "edit component" I see that
the path is entered in the "Database" field.

When I close the TIBODatabse editor window and re-examine the path
property, it has been reset to the path name not the alias name. In
which case how can I retain the alias name?
