I often make mistakes in making aliases:
ln -S $Personal/Books $Buy/Books (1)
Instead, I have to write the whole path to get the last command working:
ln -S /Users/user/something/.../Books /Users/user/something/.../Books (2)
I would really love to get something similar to (1) working. It is so time consuming to do (2). How can I quickly create absolute paths for aliases?
