Dear Jeramia,
There is a mechanism to have command scripts executed automatically;
see the "Midas" section of the Preferences:
It is not exactly the same as having the aliases saved in the
preferences; instead the location of the file with the aliases would
be saved in the preferences, and the file would be executed
automatically when the Command Line is opened (the Command Line used
to be called the Midas Emulator, since many of the commands were
originally Midas commands). This mechanism is pretty convenient on
non-Windows, but I imagine it may be hard or slightly confusing to
deal with the file location issue on Windows.
At least this way, the students wouldn't have to remember to "read"
or "source" their aliasing command files. I hope this helps,
Elaine

I have some students this summer who are using Chimera to check out
ligand anomalies in the PDB, and have fallen in love with the 'alias'
command, no surprise. Is there a way to have them persist between
sessions, or save them in the preference file somewhere? I imagine
piling them all into a file and then having them 'read' it each
session would work, but I thought I would see if there is a better
way.
Thanks,
Jeramia Ory
