I have created a large number of aliases within /etc/profile and they mostly work. However some of them do not get recognized as valid in that when I enter a valid alias at the shell. For example:
m16
I get the response:
m16: not found
However when I enter: alias m16 it tells me: alias m16=mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1680 /mnt/16 ; cd /mnt/16
so it should work?!
I've sought on the net for info about aliases and found nothing indicating a limitation on their number or collective size.
Thanks for any help.
