[QUOTE="yinglcs, post: 796576, member: 84083"] Hi, I would like to create an alias for TextEdit, so that in the command prompt of 'Terminal', I can just do , say 'te', and it will start TextEdit for me. I have tried following the instructions here: [url=http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20010330082131809&query=anonymous]macosxhints.com - Terminal 101 - Handy aliases[/url] But when I type 'alias' at the prompt, I get nothing, blank output. Can you please tell me what is missing? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
