That should be:


alias cd 'cd \!*;echo $cwd; ls -FC'


Yes, you guessed it, the famous GeekLog bug ate the backslash again. Putting in the command without the backslash somehow prevented my .cshrc file from being loaded.

Good catch, Bart. I'm hoping the next geeklog release fixes this bug. For now, if you need a backslash, you need to use the HTML character code (\) AND then paste it again after you 'preview' your comment -- preview converts it to an actual backslash, which will get dropped.

I've dug into the text manipulation code myself, but I'm not enough of a PHP/mySQL wizard to figure out what's going on ... anyone care to take a look? Send me an email and I'll send you the PHP snippets that deal with text handling...

I just added the backslash to the original hint, so it's now correct...
