Alias in freecom command.com just does string substitution before the command is actually processed, as far as I remember. You can probably ALIAS ls into dir (where dir is inside the shell) and you can probably ALIAS shuffle into sort (where sort is a tool which can be found in the PATH) :-). Examples: alias inf=for %%f in (readm* *.txt *.do? *.diz *.me) do pg %%f alias ssh=ssh2dos -t vt100 -v -n -g alias filemave=c:\tools\fmaven\fm3 alias reboot=fdapm warmboot alias MAKE=echo use tcmake or gnumake please. Make arguments: The file maven alias is useful because the fmaven directory is not in my PATH. So it has remote similarity to a symlink.
