easier way...
Authored by: blgrace on Aug 31, '02 12:28:18AM

Ummm.. this doesn't work in my default tcsh shell for the following reasons.
1. They ARE apostrophes
2. putting the "cd" command before the rest of the commands will give you a "too many args" error.
I'm not a UNIX person at all but I figured out how to do it using the "pico" text editor.
-------------------Try This---------------------------
I used "wow" as my alias/shortcut in this example
pico .tcshrc <return>
alias wow '/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background' <return>
Just make sure your text string is all on the same line and no breaks.
To save the file press <control>x then y for yes and then finaly <return>
open a new terminal window and type in your alias and there you have it.
<control>c will stop it.
