Alias for iTunes music on external drive?

I am trying to create an alias for my music so that when I click on the iTunes icon in the dock of my external HD (OS10.5.8) it points back to iTunes on my internal HD (OS10.6.2). Below are the instructions I received when I called Apple Support:


+Create alias to the 10.6 Volume/Users/'home'/Music/iTunes folder by holding down Command-Option and dragging this folder into a 2nd finder window open to the 10.5 Volume/Users/'home'/Music folder. This causes iTunes to access the same iTunes library as the 10.6 volume+

Virtually the same instructions for creating an iMovie alias worked perfectly. But try as I might, I can't achieve the same result in iTunes. Can anyone help?

Can you say all of this again and word it differently?

I'm not quite getting it and maybe if you say it again another way it might sink in.

Maybe back up and describe your end goal. What is it you want itunes to do? What functionality are you looking for by creating an alias?
