"Alias" is sort of a misnomer since you can create a new syntactic sugar-like command instead of changing the behavior of an existing one. I've had these in my .bashrc for over 10 years now: alias ..='cd ..' alias ...='cd ../..' ....and I don't believe you can write a script named ".." without a lot of fooling around.... -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
