Dear Clive, dear Tom, Thanks for your time!
The solution: mudafct() { find . -name "*" -mtime -$1; } alias muda='mudafct' seems to works inside .bashrc file! (Just 'seems' because I did not reboot, just typed in a terminal and it worked great!) Thanks both, Beco.

Hi Beco, It doesn't work because aliases don't take arguments. You can use a shell function instead. For example, muda() { find . -name "*" -mtime -$1 } -- Cheers, Clive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
