eshell alias not working properly

eshell alias not working properly

[Sum Proxy]

Hi

I seem to be having problems with my eshell aliases,
e.g. the following alias in the aliases file doesn't work in eshell 2.4.2, emacs 24.4.1 
============ 
alias ff 'find-file $1' 
============ 
error message as is is given below 
> find-file $1: command not found 

Any ideas what may be going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Don't use quotes:

alias ff find-file $1

Otherwise eshell thinks that «find-file $1» is the command.
