No, it's not the exact same thing. The symbolic link is an actual file in your file system (it's visible if you do `ls /usr/local/bin` for example), while the `alias` command tells your shell that it should insert the long form each time it sees the short form. But for all practical purposes I can think of, both ways have the same effect. Nico --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
