I am having a problem with the "source" command in bash (3.1-9). When I try to source a file with aliases in it, the aliases get garbled so that they don't work. When I type "alias" on the command line, I can see that it is incorrect. Other commands also do not work, usually giving an error like "command not found". Example: Put the line alias ls='ls -F' in a file called trysrc. Inside bash, cd to the directory and type source trysrc alias I get the output 'lias ls='ls -F If I type 'ls', I get ls: invalid option --
If I type the alias command on the command line, it seems to work fine. I have also tried this on a second computer and get the same results. Thanks in advace for your help, Patrick
