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.
