Aliases have no exact equivalent in Windows. The shell treats the alias name as a command. It replaces the name with its expansion and then appends the command line arguments, so "ll mydir" becomes "ls -l mydir". Finally, the expanded result is executed. The command "alias" lists the currently defined aliases. "man alias" shows how to write your own. In Fedora default aliases are defined in /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh for the sh and bash shells and in /etc/profile.d/colorls.csh for the C shell. Martin
