I am using the program wm to run a multi-window session over
dial up with a vt-100 emulation. My problem is that I have quite a few
aliases set up in my .login file but when I start up wm none of my aliases
get carried over to the new shells. How can I have the new shells have the same aliases or make wm set them for me on startup?
I don't read this newsgroup often so please mail me at the
address below. Thanks in advance!
Randy

How can I have the new shells have the same aliases or make wm set them for me on startup? The .login file is only read at login time. WM just starts subshells. To get your aliases in all the windows, put them in the file .cshrc instead of .login. .cshrc is read by the shell for every shell started, including the login shell. .login should be used for setting up a terminal type and environmental (setenv) variables and anything else that gets propagated to subshells. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Goldberg ARPA: dsg@mitre-bedford.arpa The Mitre Corporation UUCP: linus!mbunix!dsg MS B015 Bedford, MA 01730 617-271-2460
