define bash aliases for Aquamacs shell

Question

Hi, for Emacs you can define your shell-mode aliases in .emacs.d/init_bash.sh, but Aquamacs (2.0 on OS X 10.5) does not seem to use this. Is there another place where these can be defined?

Answer 1

From shell.el:

If a file ~/.emacs_SHELLNAME' exists, or~/.emacs.d/init_SHELLNAME.sh', it is given as initial input (but this may be lost, due to a timing error, if the shell discards input when it starts up). The buffer is put in Shell mode, giving commands for sending input and controlling the subjobs of the shell. See shell-mode'. See also the variableshell-prompt-pattern'.

So you might want to try seeing whether ~/.emacs_bash works.
