I was wonderin if anyone knew how to get the command line arguments when
the command typed is an alias under BASH.
For instance in csh " alias test 'cd \!:1; ls' "(sumthing like that) would
pass the first argument in "test /etc" to the cd command, change to /etc and
then do the ls in that directory.
How would one do this with bash? Thanks for any help.
