Hi,

I'm using zsh GIT- 2010/07/20

In my home directory I have a .zprofile file with the following lines
export PGPPATH=~/.pgp
alias lpps="lpr -Ppsloc"
alias cdc="cd ..;cd ~-"
#if [[ $DISPLAY == ':0.0' ]]; then 
#  /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
#fi
# export OPERADIR=/usr/local/share/opera
export NEDIT_HOME=/home/jarausch/.nedit

If I enter  'cdc', ZSH doesn't know it.

But if I (re-)define it by
alias cdc="cd ..;cd ~-"

then 'cdc' is known afterwards.
And I've debugged it, .zprofile has been run during startup.

What's going on?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.
