To elaborate slightly on Jacob's answer, if you've accidentally lost
or deleted your default dotfiles, you can get fresh ones (which should
provide the add alias) by logging into athena, and copying them from
/usr/prototype_user.
cp /usr/prototype_user/.??* ~
would copy all of them to your homedir.
If you're curious about how these work, you might find the OLH Dotfiles
document to be useful. You can find it at:
