Why the pushd/popd? This is more straightforward:
ln -sv `which gvim` ~/bin/vim
Why? Because the link target, as named in the link, is always relative
to the directory of the link. By having that directory current when
creating the link I find I make fewer errors. In this case it doesn't
matter, since the link points to an absolute path; but by making it a
rule never to create links except in the current directory I have found
that when it does matter I "naturally" give the right operands.
Best regards,
Tony.
