For those of you trying this at home, that is a BASH alias command and won't work in OS X's Default shell (default as of 10.2.6 at least)

Well, it's technically a generic Bourne/POSIX shell alias, but it certainly works with bash.


I managed to wander away from Unix during much of the ascendancy of csh so I never got accustomed to it, and it is a piece of garbage as far as writing programs goes so I never have been a csh user.

should do for tcsh/csh

it is a GOOD alias to have though.
