John, let me give you an example of how aliases work for me. I use WineX to

This example is exactly the reason I didn't offer rm -f as an
option--when in root, it does it...period. With rm the user is asked to
confirm the delete (and lists what will be deleted) before it is done.
Good place for a newbie to make sure they are getting what they asked

I don't know about the symbolic link, but you should be able to find the
