Older DOSen don't have true aliases, but FreeDOS does:

---
alias ls=dir
alias rm=del
alias vi=vim
---

These commands act the same way as they do on Linux; and they *can* be
put into a separate file for sourcing at system startup (I think that
the DOS command for this would be "call", not "source").

FreeDOS is improved over MSDOS in this acpect.
