However, for the current session, "alias myalias someprogram" will work. For *every* session, you should put the aliases in your resource file (.profile for sh/bash, .cshrc for csh/tcsh). Several are already set up. You can list the aliases present in the current environment by using "alias" with no arguments, but I'd recommend looking at the stock .profile or .cshrc so you can learn a thing or two. Note that I've set up, somewhat in jest, a set of "Win User Aliases", a metasyntactic joke ;-) , and some stuff for userland ppp. [/etc] [23:28] % [/etc] [23:37] % grep alias /root/.cshrc alias h history 25 alias j jobs -l alias ls ls -FG alias la ls -a alias lf ls -FA alias ll ls -lAFG alias mail mutt alias pico nano alias dir ls alias rm rm -i alias me whoami alias a: "mount_msdosfs /dev/fd0 /floppy && cd /floppy && ls -l" alias tm /usr/local/textmaker5/textmaker/tm alias up ping -t2 yahoo.com alias dial ppp -nat -background myisp alias undial "source /root/.cshrc && /bin/kill -9 `cat /var/run/tun0.pid`" alias cls clear alias foo echo "bar is the answer!" >Thanks in advance from a newbie > > You're welcome.
