I would highly recommend changing your dos command interpreter to 4dos. This
is a program that replaces the normal command.com. It allows you to specify
aliases for commands. I use it and found it to be much better than command.com.
I set up aliases for unix like commands (cp, rm, ls, etc). Plus it can load
most of its resident portion to EMS. The latest version is 2.21 (I think) and
is available on most BBS's or from wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) as
4dos22.arc.
