unix question: user supplied input for 'alias'

[Ospreyeagle]

I have a program to scan the log files and I want to pipe the output to 'less'.

I want to create an alias such that following are equivalent

scanlog chunky.lst = /udd/n2man/utils/scanlog chunky.lst|less

where chunky is user supplied file which can change.

Is this possible as an alias or do I need to create a script?

thanks,
OE

ps: Sorry for rather uninformative title.

To do what you want with an alias, you would need to find a way to write the command so it ended with chunky.lst instead of "| less". Perhaps someone knows a clever way to do that (define a function and execute it in some long command, perhaps.) It is simpler to write a script,
