I do something similar myself: % whatis D fn D { acme -l $home/lib/acme/$* } As far as screen real-estate goes I have a similar function which sets up a base set of windows in rio: % whatis W fn W { . $home/lib/rio/$* } lib/rio contains files created via wloc. These are really small things, but speeds login considerably on my laptop, especially since I use a couple of different monitors with different resolutions. (I've also dealt with the sizing issue by getting used to smaller fonts and buying bigger monitors. vera/unicode.12.font and veramo/unicode.12.font work very well for me) Cheers, Steve
