Re: How to alias directories?

[EScott]

What I do in cases like this is to access one file (call it the "old" file)
from each of the directories.  Then when I want to edit an additional file
I first access the "old" file from the same directory.  This has the effect
of setting the directory without needing to do a major typing job.

This is my first posting ever; please excuse any inadvertent errors of
procedure.
