Functions

[hbrhodes]

i have a problem, i'm trying to get a function to work with RAR, an 
archiver for Linux.
i'm typing in the following and all i get is the command listing for 
commands and switches:

----------------------------------------------------------------
function rar { /dir/path/rar/rar ; }

or

rar () { /dir/path/rar/rar ; }
---------------------------------------------------------------

neither one really works, except to list the commands and switches that 
tell me how to use the program.  i have an alias set up that works fine, 
but i really would like the function to work instead!  can anyone help?  
someone offered help in the silug i'm a member of, but it still did the 
same thing.
