Don't do this. Use "source dummy" instead. Bash (instead of bash2) isn't putting the function into the current shell when you execute it. Whatever the reason, why not just avoid all the fuss? Create ged somewhere in your path as a script, chmod 7xx, and make sure you delete the function (verify with "type -a ged"). #!/bin/bash2 while [[ -n $1 ]]; do gedit $1 & shift done This will do the same job as a function, will take some hundreths of a second longer to run because it's on disk instead of in RAM, but will likewise not clutter up RAM when not being used. -- "Of course I'm in shape!
