If you create bash functions to supplement your aliases, be careful! I'm not sure why but I just found out that a bash function defined on 1 line generated a syntax error at the end of the file it was included in when I sourced it. The specific error was bash.EXE: /users/lhall/.bash_alias: line 35: syntax error: unexpected end of file This was hard to track down. The line that caused it was: viw() { start vim.exe "$*" } changing it to viw() { start vim.exe "$*" } solved the problem for me. I don't know why or if this is an issue of general concern. I do know, however, that the change was not necessary until I switched to Sergey's latest "coolview" DLL and bash 2.01. It's not a big deal to make this change but it is also not an obvious change to make when this error occurs (at least not for me). Be forewarned! Larry Hall lhall AT rfk DOT com RFK Partners, Inc.
