I want them (without having to run an interactive shell), and Emacs can give them to me, I know it can :) Another approach I'm considering is parsing my bashrc so that 'M-x alias NAME' will simply issue the command associated with NAME as a shell-command. Haven't had much experience writing parsers though? Any tips? Seb
