- How do you get, in an alias, the rest of the command line expanded?
- If I write
- alias xx='echo abc 777 def'
- and
- xx this is fun
- should print
- abc this is fun def
-
- What do I need to write instead of the '777'? Could not find
- anything in the documentation. It's a bug in that it's not documented .......
- Verson 1.12.....
