However, aliases are only useful for Thanks Oliver. As a matter of fact i *am* running zsh. SOmeone a little while back convinced me ;-) So you mean i should put *all* of my aliases in one of those files? What's happening now is when i su -m toor i lose all but two aliases.. which-command=whence and run-help=man. All of my personal aliases disappear. SO do these aliases belong in the toor config files or my user config files? -=> jm <=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
