Thanks to all those who responded to my question.  For those who are 
interested, the proper syntax form my alias is:
	alias rm 'mv \!* /user/c684955/dumpster'
The purpose of this alias is to move files to a 'trash can' instead of
actually erasing them.  I then have cron come around once a day and erase
those files in the trash can that are over three days old.  The crontab
entry to do this is:
	45 16 ** 1-5 find /user/c684955/dumpster -mtime +3 -exec /bin/rm {} \;
