[vflyer.cpino (Conrad T. Pino)]

• rc() { ... } is a shell function definition with 4 positional parameters
• rc arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4 is an invocation example where
  • $0 == "rc"
  • $1 == "arg1"
  • $2 == "arg2"
  • $3 == "arg3"
  • $4 == "arg4"
• @sweh is using KornShell (/bin/ksh)
• I typically use Bash (/bin/bash)
