Subject: pass command line arguement to alias
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

I have an alias that starts an NT executable.  I'd like to pass an argument
to this executable in a bash?

I was trying:
alias ne="textpad $1 &"

but it thinks the argument is another command and tries to execute it.
