ModelSim-Altera 6.5b Alias definitions

Hello folks from frosty Germany,

I am using the Modelsim-Altera 6.5b starter edition and have

determined the the command line will react to good old UNIX

commands such as dir, history and so forth. Even better, I can define

an alias such as

alias h history

What I can't find in the documention though is how I can create a file where

these aliases are stored so they are calid when I first start the tool, in UNIX

this would have been a .cshrc file. Where does this file need to be placed in my Win XP environment ?

Thanks in advance !!

Eric

    Hello eveybody again,

    It turns out per our Modelsim AE that what I posted is not possible,

    one way around it is to put all your aliases into a do file and then when

    starting the tool:

    do alias.do

    Cheers,

    Eric

    thanks for your response, i looked a bit when i saw this question and couldn't find anything. i guess you are meant to put it in the top of your simulation scripts, or as you said run your own startup script.
