Hi Chris, Thanks, I've checked the first link before (I'm on Linux). I already tried alias expansion, but will try again.
When I say "alias", I guess I mean any variable that can be recalled between logins. So if aliases are specifically for .bashrc then a variable somewhere will hopefully do the trick.
