Message-ID: <5318@dasys1.UUCP> Date: 4 Jul 88 06:36:01 GMT Organization: The Big Electric Cat, NYC, NY Lines: 19 Normally, I'd have an alias in "csh" that looks like this: alias down 'cd \!^; ls' What it does is move to a subdirectory and prints it out. (I like to "see" where I'm going, so to speak. :-) But, here's the fun part...how do I do the same thing in ksh?? Shell scripts ain't the answer, because once I get to a new directory, I want to STAY there. Also, ksh's alias isn't as...ummm...err..."intelligent" as csh's alias. -- Angeli "Ms. Pepper" Wahlstedt Big Electric Cat: ...!{sun!hoptoad,cmcl2!phri}!dasys1!pepper Portal: ms-pepper@cup.portal.com
