I think that many people will be better off giving System 7 the
benefit of a "fresh start" -- that is, make a full backup, reformat
the disk with the newest drivers, and then install things anew.

Yes, I know it's a pain in the butt, but hey. You need a backup
anyway, and you'll have less strange occurrences.

If you want, you can listen to James Brown mess with the blues[1]
while you do it. I can attest that it's very relaxing.

As for your specific questions about aliases, I haven't found an
answer. If you pick an alias and do "Get Info", you get a button
marked "find original," but that won't help you out too much. sorry.
