Alias help needed

["Bob Tilley (AT&T)" <bobt@cocoa.tybrin.com>]

I wish to use the expression "catl <filename>" to execute the commands "cat <filename> | less".

Is it possible to use 'alias' in the definition?

"alias catl='cat $0 | less'" seems like a good idea, but I don't know if the '$0' works in a simple alias.
