Simple Aliases and Scripts

Aliases

In /net/campbell/13/wilkins/.cshrc.aliase are simple aliases. There may be more than you want. Take a look at xs (for restoring a window), pushd/popd aliases and the alphabetic list.

In /net/campbell/13/wilkins/.cshrc.more are comands mainly for browsing. Instead of an extensive bookmarks (I have seven, two with popups), I use line commands, many for the vt100 browser, lynx.
