You can define a simple command like "error" and when you type that command it will execute another longer and harder to type command like: tail /etc/httpd/conf/yourname.error_log But this is not very helpful. I would like something faster. For example, I am in pine, and I would like to open another application in another console. I would like to press Control+alt+g, and that hotkey to start another console with the defined application opened. Unfortunately this is not possible under Linux, only under Windows. I hope these features will be available under the Linux GUI.

You can use the "alias" command to equate a "command name" to the commands you wish executed. I have read this sentence several times and have no idea what it means. Please explainand give an example. Thanks Pat Logan _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
