Awesome, that worked! (I guess I got rid of the unnecessary whitespace and the necessary). Thanks.

I'm glad you mentioned that, I'm actually a bit confused with the different files. My UNIX teacher taught us ~/.profile was what you use, then the ubuntu forums explained you should use .bashrc for an assignment (like the one I did below).

Code:
alias test="cd $HOME/prog/test ; pwd ; ls -la"

My professor explained that its just because every linux/unix system is a bit unique, but I feel like there must be a more reasonable explanation for the different files - or at least a glossary/breakdown of the different ?daily-script-containers? somewhere ... no?

vfu

VFU(1)								 VFU File Manager							    VFU(1)

NAME

       vfu - VFU is console (text-mode) file manager for UNIX/Linux

SYNOPSIS

       vfu [options]

DESCRIPTION

       vfu has following features:

	- Fast one-key commands
	- Extended completition and wildcard expansion
	- Directory tree with sizes (incl. sizes cache)
	- File-type colorization (extension and type)
	- Archives support (TAR, TGZ, BZ2, and many more)
	- Simple FTP support through archive-like interface
	- Internal text/hex file viewer and editor (optional)
	- Extensive user-defined external support/utils
	- Regular expressions selection and search
	- Multiple file masks
	- and much more...

OPTIONS

	-h
       prints help for command line options

	-i
       runs vfu in interactive mode (can be used with -d)

	-d path
       changes working directory to `path'

	-r
       rebuild directory tree

	-t
       view directory tree only

       These options are for using vfu in partial non-interactive mode.

	example: vfu -d /usr/local -i

CONFIGURATION

       vfu configuration is divided in two parts (files):

       vfu.conf

       This file contains configuration for external editor and pager, favorite directories, file-type colorization. This is plain text file which
       format is described below. vfu only reads vfu.conf, it never writes in it!

       vfu.options

       This file contains all Options/Toggles which can be changed from inside vfu -- Options menu. vfu.options is binary file and is overwritten
       on vfu exit or on change option event! Deleting this file will reset vfu toggles to default values. vfu.options is not portable between vfu
       versions!

       Location of vfu.conf

       vfu.conf can be placed as any of:

	$HOME/.vfu/vfu.conf

	$HOME/$RC_PREFIX/vfu/vfu.conf  (if $RC_PREFIX is exported)

	/etc/vfu.conf

	/usr/local/etc/vfu.conf

	/usr/local/vfu.conf

       Other files location

       All other files including vfu.options are placed in:

	$HOME/.vfu/

	$HOME/$RC_PREFIX/vfu/

       What is "$RC_PREFIX" and why to use it? Some more information for this can be found in the CONFIG file which is supplied with vfu package.

VFU.CONF
       This is a sample copy of vfu.conf with appropriate comments:

DISTRIBUTION

       It is supposed that only source packages will be distributed.  However sometimes binary packages will be released, but not often.  VFU
       packages are named in this way:

	vfu-X.xx.src.tgz

       source package for version X.xx

	vfu-X.xx.bin.platform.tgz

       binary package for version X.xx for `platform' platform

       examples:

	vfu-4.00.src.tgz

	vfu-4.00.bin.linux.glibc.tgz

	vfu-4.00.bin.linux.libc5.tgz

	vfu-4.00.bin.dos.tgz

       All packages are TAR+GZIP .tgz, bz2 and zip are available on request.

       NOTE: Always check HISTORY document -- it often contains some usefull notes!

FILES

	$HOME/$RC_PREFIX/vfu/vfu.conf

       configuration, explained above

	$HOME/$RC_PREFIX/vfu/vfu.options
