Hi
I seem to be having problems with my eshell aliases,
e.g. the following alias in the aliases file doesn't work in eshell 2.4.2, emacs 24.4.1
============
alias ff 'find-file $1'
============
error message as is is given below
> find-file $1: command not found
Any ideas what may be going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Don't use quotes:
alias ff find-file $1
Otherwise eshell thinks that «find-file $1» is the command.
