Hello Milhan,
on top of what Pederabo has suggested.., the oter easy way to get working similar to aliases are using a set command..
C:\Documents and Settings\ilango\test>set dira=dir /A
C:\Documents and Settings\ilango\test>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 548F-C2AD
Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\ilango\test
04/06/2009 12:13 PM <DIR> .
04/06/2009 12:13 PM <DIR> ..
04/06/2009 12:13 PM 4 normal.txt
1 File(s) 4 bytes
2 Dir(s) 6,269,435,904 bytes free
C:\Documents and Settings\ilango\test>%dira%
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 548F-C2AD
Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\ilango\test
04/06/2009 12:13 PM <DIR> .
04/06/2009 12:13 PM <DIR> ..
04/06/2009 12:13 PM 4 hidden.txt
04/06/2009 12:13 PM 4 normal.txt
2 File(s) 8 bytes
2 Dir(s) 6,269,403,136 bytes free
C:\Documents and Settings\ilango\test>
In teh above example, i made simiar to alias - dira to be executed as dir /A, only thing is you will have to use it with percentages.. as in %dira%
/ilan

aliases
aliases(5) File Formats Manual aliases(5)
Name
aliases - aliases file for sendmail
Description
The aliases file is an ASCII file that describes user ID aliases that are used in It is formatted as a series of lines in the following
form:
name: name_1, name2, name_3, . . .
The name is the name to alias, and the name_n are the aliases for that name. Each is separated from the next by a new line.
Continuation lines begin with white space. Comment lines begin with a number sign (#).
You can only assign aliases to local names. Loops are not allowed because a message should be sent to a person only once.
After an alias has been applied, local and valid recipients who have a file in their home directory can have messages forwarded to the list
of users defined in that file.
This is only the raw data file; the actual information pertaining to aliases is placed into binary format in the files and using the pro-
gram The command should be executed each time the aliases file changes. This command allows the new changes to take effect.
Restrictions
Because of restrictions in a single alias cannot contain more than approximately 1000 bytes of information. You can specify longer aliases
by chaining; that is, use a dummy name for the last name in the alias, which creates a continuation alias.
The database may be distributed in a network by a naming service, such as Yellow Pages or BIND/Hesiod. See the Guide to Yellow Pages or
the chapter on Hesiod in the Guide to BIND for setup information.
