Hi Dale,
I was already using the aliases but wanted stuff like
alias 2[-->arrow down]='ls -Fs --color $1'
so I could type "2 [any dir]" and get the list. It didn't work. I've
busted my head for the last x weeks, trying anything except re-writing the
kernel :-). Guess what!? I constantly forgot to use the slash...! But it
works now, thanks for waking me up!
Anyway, I still tryed to fight around with shell scripts but they don't
work. Even with the PATH statement I have to type the full path in order
to run it. Hmmmm... What could it be...?
Zoki.
