very newbie alias question
I created an .alias file, only put one simple line in it:
alias test1 cd $HOME/develop/test1
I got twice of the errors:
> 'test1' not found
> 'cd $HOME/develop/test1' not found
It should be a very simple thing. I typed the this line in a shell, the same error. But if I type 'cd $HOME/develop/test1', it is fine.
What is wrong with my alias?
Thank,
Fang

Yeeees, it works this time!
I don't understand, alias is very old tool. Seems it changed now.
Thank you so much!
