    Regarding SET FILE/ENTER and SET FILE/REMOVE...

    The best way I have found to detect aliases is to do a DIRECTORY/FILE_ID.
    Two entries with the same file id are duplicate-link files.  As for detecting
    which is the original, I am unsure.

If you look in the index file entry, you will find the original name.
