alias

[Taiseer]

Hi all,

I am trying - in the .cshrc file - to make a new alias which enables me to replace the (ls -lrt) command with the letter (a).

How can I do that?

I tried this line, but it is not working
alias a 'ls -la'


Thanks

I think the syntax is:
alias a='ls -lrt'
Notice no spaces around the = sign.
After you edited the .cshrc file don't forget to reload it.
. ./.cshrc
