Shell Aliases
Step 3 discusses shell aliases and gives sample entries for your aliases.mine file. If you want to avoid typing those entries using pico, you can download the aliases.mine file described in this step and drop it into your ~/Library/init/tcsh directory. (Note that the tcsh directory might not exist; if it doesn’t, create it and then copy this file into it.)
CORRECTION #1: Near the end of the first column on page 21, there is a line that reads
alias prefs cd ~/Documents
It should instead read:
alias docs cd ~/Documents
(in other words, the prefs should be docs).
CORRECTION #2: Also on page 21, there is an error in the second item of Table 3-1, Suggested Entries for aliases.mine File. The entry
alias trash mv \!\n ~/.Trash/
should instead read:
alias trash mv \!\* ~/.Trash/
(in other words, the n should be a *).
