Here’s a hint to help those looking to create shortcuts for common things…

Upload/create the file /var/root/.profile with these contents:

# Aliases
alias pico='pico -w'
alias rm='rm -i'
alias ssh='ssh2'
alias myssh='ssh2 username@myserver.com'

# User specific environment
PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin
TERM=vt100

export PATH TERM

This assumes you have uploaded vt100 for using fullscreen goodies like pico. If you haven’t got vt100 on your iphone remove the TERM line and remove ‘TERM’ from the end of the ‘export’ line.
