you don't need to create a script ... just use an alias for the commands you want to simulate what you want (i.e., alias dir=/usr/bin/ls) ...
unfortunately, you're going to run into issues when you use dos-style options with unix commands so a script maybe better for you ...
... you might just be better off learning the unix commands outright unless you're trying to help somebody out ... besides, you'd have a hard time scripting if you don't know which commands do what function ...
well ... i wish you luck!
