I sort of figured out the answer. I had a line in my .tchrc file to skip the remaining setup if not an interactive shell

if ($?USER == 0 || $?prompt == 0) exit

and the alias commands were located after this. Once you get into IDL there is no longer a shell prompt

IDL> $echo $?prompt
0

and so the shell script exited before defining the aliases. Of course, I figured this out only after posting. --Wayne
