Subject: [Hampshire] bash error
Hi.  Could someone help me with the error of my ways?  I'm sure this one
is dead simple but I can't see it.
I have this alias:-
    alias my_alias='cd ~/somedirectory && ristretto * & geany progress &'

The ristretto bit works as expected, but I thought that the text file
that opened would be ~/somedirectory/progress, but instead it creates
~/progress.  What's wrong with my syntax?

Thanks

Owain
