Creating an Alias


  1. To make an alias to change directories so that you won't have to type the whole path each time, use the following command (with Math 32A, Lecture 2 as an example):
    myhost.1>alias name 'cd /usr/www/htdocs/classes/math/98f/32a.2.98f'

    where "name" is the name you want to use for the command.

  2. You will have to add this command to your .cshrc file. If you don't, the alias won't work next time you log in.
