Betreff: alias command in Midnight Commander

> I'va installed  "mc" version 4.6.1 using cygwin setup.
> In mc alias command doesn't work.
> ex:
> $ alias mytest='echo "test"'
> $ mytest
> /bin/bash: mytest: command not found
> 
> When I quit mc and resent the commands on shell it works.
> Any idea?

The subshell feature of MC is disabled by default on Cygwin - so a new shell is spawned each time you execute a command trough the command line
widget in MC and your changes are immediately lost. Run MC by passing it the -U command line option and it should work as expected.
