I am trying to pass a parameter to an alias under AIX on the RS6000.
I would like to set up an alias that will take a directory name as an 
argument and then print that in the title of my X window.  I am not having
trouble changing the title ... that is a simple escape sequence.

My Problem is that I cant get the alias to accept a parameter.  I am using
$1 to reference the first parameter... Is this correct ?

Thanks.  Rob.
