Keywords: alias Message-ID: <1990Nov27.155249.3829@isc.rit.edu> Date: 27 Nov 90 15:52:49 GMT References: Organization: Rochester Institute of Technology Lines: 8 I have a strange problem with alias: I have the following line in my shell-startup file: "alias lharc Utilities:Archivers/lharc". For some strange reason this alias is not getting set up. All the other aliases are. I have tried deleting and re-adding this line but that doesn't work. I set up a shell script named setalias that contained "execute s:shell-startup". When I execute this the lharc alias gets set up. Yo no compreno. Any clues?
