pls directory will give ls -l | less directory which is not what one want. Try the following: bourne shells: alias pls='ls $* | less' or for csh/tcsh: alias pls 'ls $* | less' Thanks, Josh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

what you want:
pls() {
ls -l "$@" | less
}
