You could put this into ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_aliases): alias acusession='source /usr/local/bin/acusim/LINUX64/V1.7e/script/.acusim-sh' Then you can use "acusession" as a convenient abbreviation to source the configuration script and prepare the present bash session for running any of the acuSim binaries; treat it as a dedicated acusim session that lasts until you end this particular bash session. If you want to simultaneously use programs that should be linked to the normal libraries then you can open another terminal window or switch to a different VT. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
