Try this: \cp from to
IIRC, cp is an alias that translates to cp -i, I believe rm and mv are the same. Entering the leading \ overrides the alias. Hope that helps.
Happy trails,
Merv

Hi,
Thank you all for your suggestions.
\cp works just fine.

system to ignore the alias
for the command.

It doesn't work. I already tried that before posting.
