In the research for my responses to the alias issue I learned something I didn't know. Not a big deal but I thought I would share.
If the value of an alias ends in a space the word following the issuance of the alias command is also checked for alias expansion. Example: $ alias t1='echo abc' $ alias t2='dev' $ t1 t2 abc t2 $ alias t1='echo abc ' $ t1 t2 abc def -- cyg Simple P.S. I love learning new things, it just proves my wife's assumption that I don't know everything. ;p -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
