11g RAC oraenv question

Greetings,

We have a database named 'T', with instances T1 and T2.  The default entry in 
the oratab looks something like this:

T:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:N             # line added by Agent

. oraenv T, sets the *home* correctly, but does not set the instance.  We have 
to manually export ORACLE_SID=T1.

Does anyone have a good way to overcome this?  We have some aliases set up and 
I'm having a heck of a time getting them to work with this current setup.

For example, we have an alias that does a less on the alert log, and it's based 
off the ORACLE_SID:

alert='less $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/bdump/alert*log'

In our RAC instances, I think it will look something like this, but I'm missing 
a piece, with INSTANCE_NAME being a variable I'm not sure how to grab (multiple 
databases/instances on the box).

alert='less $ORACLE_BASE/diag/rdbms/$ORACLE_SID/$INSTANCE_NAME /trace/alert*log'

Thanks- Chris
