Hi Jon, Brad, and Kelly, I'm astonished! 'dir' is now officially a linux command! My gosh. <funny> I leave you mainteners alone for a couple of weeks and you come up with this? 'Outrageous!', quoting Judge Judy. </funny> Well, now I know why I couldn't find the hidden alias. It is an *argh* linux binary at /bin. Thanks, guys. Camaleón, after this incredible (unbelievable?) information, I came up with this: beco@iguana:~$ alias dir='echo Tip of the day: in your Windows box open notepad, type @dir /w /p %* and save as ls.bat in C:\\Windows\\System32\\' beco@iguana:~$ dir Tip of the day: in your Windows box open notepad, type @dir /w /p %* and save as ls.bat in C:\Windows\System32\ beco@iguana:~$ Just save the alias in /etc/profile.d/bash_aliases.sh and we are done. (But I think a rm /bin/dir is also applicable) Claudius and Jochen, your humor with 'sl' was noted and appreciated, but I need something simpler as I allow users to connect from limited resources devices with strange configurations of terminal - like blackberry for example (*) - and other phones, it's better just give an 'echo' (it will annoy them enough!). Thanks all!
