Let me answer my own question.  The document /usr/tex/ntman.dvi says
it all. To create a command 'mytex' using a the format myfmt.fmt do
this:  

  o	copy myfmt.fmt into a directory specified in the TEXFORMATS
	variable  (e.g. ~/tex/formats)

  o	ln ~tex/formats/myfmt.fmt ~/tex/formats/mytex.fmt

  o	ln /usr/bin/virtex ~/Unix/bin/mytex
	
make the mytex command executable and make sure ~/Unix/bin is in your
path.

This works for me.

                     So long

PS:  If you are using TeX on the NeXT and haven't read 
/usr/tex/ntman.dvi do yourself a favor and read it now.
A lot of interesting stuff, thanks Mr. Rokicki!
