     MAAC,

    Like KenM says, put it in the env file in the pcbenv directory pointed to by the HOME variable.

    Close all Allegro tools and place your edits at the top of the file.  There they will stay.

    I am posting a clip of the start of my env as an example.

    -------------------- 

    source $TELENV
    alias F3 oops
    alias F4 rotate
    alias F7 vertex
    alias F9 window in
    alias F10 window out
    set display_nohilitefont 1
    set allegro_viaarray
    funckey h 'color -toggle "Package Geometry/silkscreen_top"'


    set SKILL_MENU = C:/Libraries/AllegroSkill
    set MENU       = $GLOBAL/cuimenus
    set MENUPATH   = $SKILL_MENU . $MENU
