Well, I have not run 10.4 for a number of years now, but it certainly
works on 10.5, so get off the stick and upgrade already. Leopard was
released over a year ago!
if you had used a shell function instead of an alias and passed the
args
through with $* HTH
No, do *not* use $* as arguments with spaces would be passed
incorrectly
with bash (and other POSIX shells):
No, DO use $*, just remember to quote it like you would any other
variable expansion involving filenames. It's not like there's any
other useful way to pass arguments to an alias or shell function,
sheesh!
