Well, I've answered this one before, and I thought to this group on
news :-), but here goes again.

Did you run newalias.  Aliases.text needs to be converted into
the two internal binary files before it will find them.  Thus you
must run newalias.  If you define the alias within Elm itself, Elm
will run newalias for you.  Be sure newalias is installed within
your search path.
