That's strange. Where are you putting these?

It looks like toward the bottom you missed some quotes, namely with the pwd commands. Try just putting in one at a time, and see if it works.

What do you mean you're running avg 8.5? isn't that a windows based virus blocker? Why are you running it, and why is it relevant to your post?

in /home/lance/.bash_aliases is where they are being put. I have found out what my problem is my(¨) looks as shown and i have to hold shift and press the key twice for the mark to display so i copied and pasted the (") from the help form and things now work right. I think I might need to reinstall my keyboard does any one know how to do that I need a gui and for more info I using a acer aspire 4720z labtop. i have attached my aliases in case anyone wants to look at them. thank you for all your help everyone.
