It is not relevant, all the alias does is replace the command 'edit' with the
command '/usr/bin/bbedit', the default MacOS X install does not have an 'edit'
command.
Note that you can add parameters to the alias:
alias edit='/usr/bin/bbedit --wait --resume'
There is the '/usr/bin/open' command which will open a document with its Mac
application, so I would use that for you images, etc...
