Alias for fields properties

Greetings!

After having done a (really) quick check on the archives, I have not seen this addressed.

What I had with V5.0 was to be able to view a list of fields in a table, and then to see the alias in the properties of the field. I upgraded over the weekend to V5.1, and am trying to do the same thing. I get to a file that I need to see the field names for, tell the RSE that I want to view the fields in a table. It gives me a nice display of fields which, by the way, I would like to customize by adding the Alias as a column. When I right click and ask for field properties, all I get is the field name. None of the other information is filled in. No Alias, no length, no text, and the type has the field name displayed in it.

Has this been reported? Is there a fix? Am I doing something wrong? How can I get the properties to display the ALIAS? Even better, how can I drag the field from the list to my program, and have it fill in the field name (or alias) with appropriate substitutions, like the copy DDR or copy DDSR would do?

Thanks
