How do you get, in an alias, the rest of the command line expanded? If I write alias xx='echo abc 777 def' and xx this is fun should print abc this is fun def What do I need to write instead of the '777'? Could not find anything in the documentation. It's a bug in that it's not documented ....... Verson 1.12..... StvB P.S. Thank you. . .
