If you learn the commands and learn them well you don't need aliases. I've found many people who come to depend so heavily on aliases that when they're forced to a new system, they've forgotten which commands were put together in the first place to form the alias. Then they're helpless until they figure out how to re-create what they used to have. As such, I've learned to not use them at all, and find that I end up knowing commands much better than if I had become dependant upon aliases. ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
