Do aliases work with Lshell?

[Alex]

Bear with the questions of a new user of lshell, please.

In .bash I could 'source .bash_profile' and use custom aliases. In lshell I tried, but could not load aliases. Does lshell aloww aliases at all? How and where should I define them?

Thanks!

Actually, I see the following in the config file:

##  command aliases list (similar to bash’s alias directive)
aliases         : {'ll':'ls -l', 'vi':'vim'}

However (1) defined ll does not take effect:

myusername:~$ ll
*** unknown command: ll

(2) in my .bash_profile I had something like:

userprompt () {
local usercolor="\[\033[1;36m\]"
[[ $EUID == 0 ]] && usercolor="\[\033[1;31m\]"
PS1="$(pwd)"
PS1="$usercolor\u\[\033[0m\]@\[\033[1;34m\]\h\[\033[0m\]:${PS1//\//$usercolor/\[\033[0;1m\]}$usercolor\\$\[\033[0m\]
"
}
PROMPT_COMMAND=userprompt

to colorify bash screen. How can I do it in lshell?

Hi,

For it to take affect, you should add 'll' in the allowed command list.

Hi,

but when I use 'all' in the allowed list lshell ignores ll either and
it is not allowed to write e.g. 'all' ['ll']
