Hi, The Go menu is a menu that, in this case, resides when you are in the Finder. It is a menu just like the File or Edit menu with options relating to different file locations you may wish to go when in the Finder. As a side note, the Finder is similar to the Desktop or Windows Explorer in the Windows environment.
An alias is synonymous with a Shortcut in the Windows environment. It is simply another name for a file that is placed in a different location. The alias is a pointer to the original. Copying and Duplicating do more or less the same thing. usually if you Duplicate a file, a copy is placed within the same general file location and the filename will be the same with the word "Copy" appended to the end. If you use the Copy and Paste style, normally, you're making a copy of the file somewhere else in your file structure. Hope this helps.
