Hot Keys

I am a new user, using UNIX in a DOS window. Is there a way to code a "Hot Key" for a string of commands?
Thanks.

Assuming that you are doing a telnet to the unix box from the dos prompt, I suggest that you can use aliases. Aliases are nothing but a shortcut key to the commands for e.g

l='ls -l'
c=clear
bin='cd /usr/bin'

After this being set when you type l it will list the files in the directory. When you type 'c' it will clear the screen. This you can set up in your .profile file. This file you can see it in your home directory. If not available you can create one. Hope this helps

hot key

Thank you for your reply. You are correct in my usage. However, I'm looking for a way to set a hot key that will replace a series of characters that I have to type for each entry. Example: a hot key that would replace "aaaaBbbbbCdddd".
