Alias in KSH

[TanyaB]

Hi,
In tcsh you can define alias with "!*" - command-line args.
How can I do the same in ksh ?

Hope this helps.

In KSH you cannot include arguments in an alias definition like in TSH or CSH.
Instead of an alias, define a function :

for example :

lsl() # list last created files
{
ls -ltr "$@" | head
}
