        Yes, I know I can simply call the script from .bashrc and have it work, 
such as:

/home/david/bin/wpsearch:

#!/bin/bash
if [[ $1 ]]; then
    webpin $1
else
    echo -e "\n\tusage: wp <filename>\n"
    exit 1
fi

        Then in .bashrc:

alias wp='/home/david/bin/wpsearch $1'

        But, I was trying to find a way to do it all from .bashrc. I guess I 
could
just make wpsearch a function in .bashrc, but that would violate the 1-line
concept...
