Again, aliases don't take parameters.

That's incorrect.  The shell expands *.dll into a list of all the dll
files before passing it to the function.

If you have:

for i in $(seq 1 10); do touch $i.dll; done; function echo_many (){echo
$1 $2 $3}; echo_many *.dll

The shell will output:

10.dll 1.dll 2.dll

The correct script is:

movetotrash () { mv -i $* $HOME/.local/share/Trash/files }
