% variable expansion in config/alias

[thecere]

The % variable expansion in https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/blob/master/config/aliases does not work for me (win 10):

λ history
cat: %CMDER_ROOT%\config\.history: No such file or directory
λ which doskey
/c/WINDOWS/system32/doskey

IMO this error only means that .history is not yet created. AFAIK, this file is written when cmder is closed (and only has the commands available which were in the last closed cmder session).

Nope, .history is there. I've stumbled upon this by trying to append stuff to PATH with a custom alias. I've only used the history alias as an example, as it's already build-in.

ok, I should have tested that first:

λ history
cat: %CMDER_ROOT%\config\.history: No such file or directory

Looks like mridgers/clink#344?

And duplicate of #684 -> should be fixed by a updated clink, which is included in one of the newer dev builds.

Verified that this is fixed by installing the latest dev versions via appveyor: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/MartiUK/cmder/build/1.0.138-development/artifacts

Jep, thnx. Works for me now.
