These one word aliases for scripts were defined in the PUBLIC_j_ noun
in J602 and are now defined in Public_j_.

AFAIU they were basically given to scripts that were designated
important enough to provide users with a simpler way of loading them
than using their full path.

Many of the scripts/packages that were available in J602 as part of
the base system, are now available instead as addons from JAL via
Package Manager. For some of those that previously had an alias, that
alias has been maintained, and the script can be loaded as before
using the alias although it is now physically located somewhere else
(e.g. load 'plot' )

Some packages have not yet been been converted and are not currently
available as addons or aliases. I suspect that the graph alias is one
of those.
