Yep, this is just as good as alias. But get this: you can also change msh's
builtins! I wanted 'ls' to give me a columnar listing with file type
characters ("\" for directories, "*" for executables) by default. All
I had to do for that was rename the builtin "ls" to something else, like "lss"
by using "unset in .bin ls" and then "set in .bin lss <address of 'ls'>".
Then all I had to do was to "set in .cmd ls" to "lss -<whatever flags I want>".
