Create aliases for quick timezone checks

Well, if the .login file in your home directory isn't there, then you could create it.

To use the aliases, type the name of the city in the terminal. (e.g. using the original hint as an example, type "LA" and then return to see the current Pacific time).

hi thanks for responding.. i am not too familiar with these kind of manoeuvres.. is it ok if i fire up pico, copy your lines (i am in holland and accidentally my relatives are in LA and seoul) and save the file naming it ".login" in my home directory?
