Granted, functions are more useful, but I haven't gotten around to really incorporating any of my own functions into $HOME/.bashrc yet. Aliases can be written much faster. The above clippings seem to be a very very good solution. However, think Bash should be smart enough (ie. have an option) to source any aliases (or functions in bashrc) if called non-interactively. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/ -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
