It comes from "bash" 'man bash' will explain, if i were to say, gottya,
because i said put an "alias" in your ".bash_profile" would you forgive me
for saying, you should have seen thro' that one, "bash_profile"?????

I can assure you after reading 'man bash' you will see that you can do
"amasing things" in bash, BTW: bash is not the only shell, its just one
which i seem to have read the most about. Ray, i should have read MORE about
"perl", (i say that with a red face)... But thanks for the corrections in
your mail.
