Trouble loading alias list

Apr

I apologize for such a stupid question as this, but I just don't get it!
I have a file named alias.lst which has a single entry: alias d = dir /w
Following help on how to load aliases from a list I enter: alias /r alias.lst
Then to find out if anything happened I enter: alias
This produces the response: Unknown command "d"
Why?
 
Leave the "alias" out. You're mixing the command line and batch file

Alias.lst should have the line:
d = dir /w

Try that

Alternatively, you can set up your aliases however you like them, and then save the whole alias table to a file with

Code:
alias > alias.lst
