Yes, but you can also simply disable the internal LIST command with

setdos /i-list

which is how I first did things. Later, I decided to use the pair of
aliases in the manual:

LOOK=*list
LIST=c:\tools\list.com

Place these in your aliases file (in this order), and you'll have
LIST.COM and the internal version both. I use the internal one for
viewing a single file or the output of a pipe, as it doesn't have to
load a second program.
