Why don't the aliases in /etc/profile work in X?

They work for me.

alias pico='e3pi'
works in console mode but not in an rxvt, nor does your alias copy.

Did you actually type this in the rxvt or just in profile? profile
did not work for me when I started an rxvt manually but it did
work if I started it from the menu.

I typed all my aliases in profile so I could reuse them.
I started an rxvt in .xinitrc so it would be there upon entering X. My 84-year-old friend can't remember how to use the menu.
What do you mean by starting an rxvt manually, typing rxvt in an existing rxvt?

You can copy the /*/bin/pico and vi scripts from the 2.4 usb
bootfloppy - I made them because the shell I was testing
with did not support aliases.

My partner will investigate this. I don't use e3pi in X very often and he wants to use X more.

Is there some way to get to hotlist.html after starting links, short of a
sequence of left arrows (or history list)? Hopefully by typing one
letter, or g plus h symlinked to hotlist.html somehow. I could
not get this to work even by adding <html> .... < /html> to hotlist.html.

You should make a script or alias consisting of 'links hotlist.html'.
Can't you exit links and restart it with a short alias?

This is for my elderly friend. I can restart links and it goes to hotlist.html as the start page. Can I run a script from within linux? Lynx has a 'v' to read the bookmarks but I can't find a way to access bookmarks from links, or history, without going through the menu, which he can't remember how to access because it is not visible by default. I will have him type q l to exit and start again to see the hotlist, or else left arrow until he gets back to it.

I bet that went slowly.

It was my fastest computer at the time so I was happy with it. It went a lot faster than with Windows 95. Lynx is of course always faster. Opera still seems to be downloading images even when told not to display them.
