You can create your own custom commands in aliases.txt in your Star Wars Galaxies Directory.
When you create an alias it then becomes a / command.
For example, aliases.txt might contain:
ht /follow; /assist; /healdamage. Now when ever I have another player targeted and type /ht I follow them, assist them, and heal them.
This is also useful for cutting down the amount of typing in a macro, such as a sampling macro. For example, "sr /stand; /sample; /pause 500; /sit; /pause 250" is in aliases.txt(without the quotes). Then the macro would look like: /sr; /pause 750; /sr; /pause 750..... You have to do the /pause after calling /sr or else the game thinks you are using recursive calls. The pause is set to 750 because that is how long it takes /sr to run.
After setting up a command(s) in aliases.txt you have to type /load in the command line so SWG will recognize the new command. You type /alias to have SWG list your current aliases. And type /unalias <<alias name>> to remove an alias you have created from the game.
I believe there is a way to create an alias directly from the command line, without having to edit aliases.txt. But I am not sure. Maybe someone else knows.

July 3rd Update
We fixed many small errors throughout the site. I added links under discussions to Professions and Races, so that everyone knows there are forums there for you to use to discuss them. We also now have a full Command List for the game. I think it is pretty complete, but if we are missing any, please let me know.
