Using aliases

Under unix, you can set up your own www command using an alias, even if you do not have system privileges. (See seperate info for VMS ).

The commands below are for the C shell (csh). If you are using the korn shell, you will replace the space between the name and value of an alias with an equals "=" sign.

To define the www command, simply make an alias to the executable file (www) in the directory in which you have put it.

alias www /path/path/path/Implementaion/machine/www If you want to make a special command to point directly to a particular hypertext document, then you must find its hypertext address. You then define an alias giving that address as a first parameter to "www". alias xfind www http://crnvmc/FIND/pub+user\? Note the backslash (\) used to prevent the question mark (here part of the address of the FIND index) from being interpreted by the shell. _________________________________________________________________
