Sorry, I thought you and already worked theis out. Here is an example
I threw together. YMMV
********** -----------------------
#!/bin/sh
# Test calling a function in .bashrc
# The function
# make (create) an gzip archive
# tarc() { tar czvf $1.tar.gz $1; }
# let this script know what the functions/aliases are
source .bashrc
#test tarc function
echo "Name of file to gzip: "
read file
tarc $file
# Test of an alias in .bashrc
#
# the alias
# alias show="apt-cache show $1"
# Test show alias
echo "Search Debian for filename: "
read name
show $name
********** -----------------------

You know you've been spending too much time on the computer when your
friend misdates a check, and you suggest adding a "++" to fix it.
