PowerPro won't, but the disk cache will keep it in memory if it is
read several times.

Don't know what you mean by "interpreted script" here...

Well, that string search was exactly my main point of criticism all

Yep. That's what I meant. You can simply point the alias to any
script here.

Well, if you really want to set stuff like working directory with the
alias parameters, OK, that might get tricky...

That highly depends on the specific programs I guess. But I think for
most cases it would be a filepath or a search term for urls, wouldn't
