Errata:
EXAMPLES Alias is an optional 'variable command environment'

This differs from Parameters of commands

& (man unalias)
("man" bash

who the heck can wade thru 1675 + lines)

# runs your .bashrc and is recommended by the bash info pages.
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
#Sample bashrc
alias ls="ls --color=auto"
alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp="cp -i"
= Double - quotation marks work
Whitespaces don't
(Hmm, never fully tested b4 ~ Easier && < faster to type single quote (no key modifier)
