Sorry for taking a while to respond. I'm on digest mode for the mailing
list. Anyway, I did unintentionally omitted the directory part of the
command. But I recently looked up the man page on bash and it said that
you can't pass parameters to alias commands. A function is what's needed
(as was mentioned in a recent post). I think the function definition you
want is:
function c() { cd "$1" && ls | more }
