hi,

I am pretty new both to unix and this forum, can anyone help me to give shortcuts to my commands...

eg:-
instead of "cd /usr/bin"
i want to to give " bin " and get to that path.

I'm using HP-UX 11.0

You need to aliases

For eg: alias bin="cd /usr/bin"

To have commonly used aliases set everytime you log in, you can keep them in .profile file for ksh.

for more details on aliases:
man alias
