  12. Hi, I need to know how to get a type of alias to work in bash:
  13.  
  14. like in csh, you can do: alias dir 'ls -laF \!* |more'
  15.     to pass the parameter
  16. in bash, I tried: alias dir='ls -laF $* |more'
  17. and it wouldn't take the parameter correctly.
  18.  
  19. BTW, is there CSH port to Linux?
  20.  
  21. thanks,
  22. Bruce
