Suppose a user wants to make shell function such as this.
cpST () { cp Source Target }
The shell is waiting for a command so it can't be typed
directly at the prompt.
This also doesn't work.
peter@dalton:~$ dash -c "cpST () { cp Source Target }"
dash: 1: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "}")
So how can a shell function be defined interactively?
Thanks, ... Peter E.
