Here's my .profile:

alias 'lu = /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb'
alias 'seti = cat /var/db/setiathome/state.sah | grep prog'
alias 'dir = ls -Fl'
~

Questions:
1) My aliases don't work. Why?
2) When I make a change, let's say to the aliases, I don't know of any other way for 
it to take immediate affect unless I log out and log back in again. Is there a command 
approach to this?
3) Is there a good tutorial about environment settings and other issues such as the 
ones I'm struggling with?

TIA,

Tamir
