My complaint is that I don't want my "short name" or "alias"
i.e. symlink, to have to reside in my current working directory
(which would mean that I needed to make one in lots of places).
I am not familiar with Linux, for example, I install my favorite text editor
myedit in some folder such
/opt/myedit/myedit.bin
then I symlink that myedit.bin to a place covered by $PATH
/usr/local/bin/myedit
if I want to edit a file in a folder such as /home/bill
$ cd /home/bill
$ myedit myfile.txt
I think this works because pwd will be /home/bill so that it is not necessary to
give full pathname such as /home/bill/myfile.txt
Is this behavior what supposed to be, please correct me if I am wrong.
