What's strange about it. You named your alias "bash", then had both sides of the #IF use "bash", which means it loops back to the alias and checks #IF again, get another "bash", loops back to the alias again...Worse than that, since you put the #VAR command after the "bash", unless @target is empty you'll be stacking up another #VAR command every time through, all waiting for the infinite "bash"ing to finish...

The ~ is essential if you intend to use the name of an existing command as your alias name, while simultaneously using that command within the alias. I'm assuming you have "var" instead of "#var" because of a typo.

alias : bash

#if (%1 = %null) {~bash @target} {
~bash %1
#var target %1
}
