alias rm 'rm -1'

Depends on the shell you're using. Looks like you're using tcsh, so you'll want to use unalias rm, etc., or simply do it all at once with unalias rm mv cp

Also, aliases go away when your session ends, so closing the Terminal window and opening a new one would do the trick too.

Thx so much..that did the trick. Just trying to make my way through the tutorial :-)

I believe you must have meant "rm -i", "mv -i" and "cp -i", respectively (and not "-1").

"-i", interactive, is the usually recommended argument for end users (because the utility will ask for confirmation before deleting/overwriting files), therefore books suggest these.

You could have aliases in place and still execute the original (unaliased) version of the command by either using the full pathname (such as /bin/rm instead of rm), or prefixing a backslash (\rm).
