I am not sure, but source may not be your only solution. Also, if you're getting the default aliases file back, I think bash creates that with other files in ~, when you start it if it's not there already. This is at login, or after I should say, when the shell is invoked. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gaijin" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
