A proxy command is not a copy and a rename. It's more like the following:
ADDLNK OBJ('/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/bin') NEWLNK('/rob/ibmstuff')

I never said it was actually a copy and rename, just that it felt
about as "heavy" as copying and renaming. The help for CRTPRXCMD says
that a new *CMD object will be created. But the new object will be a
"proxy command definition object" rather than a "command definition
object", so I suppose it could be smaller/lighter than an actual
command. It would still be a persistent object in the file system,
though. Is there anything like a DOS or Unix alias?
