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%

Name
       lj250of - LJ250 Companion Color Printer Filter

Syntax
       /usr/lib/lpdfilters/lj250of [-c] [-nlogin] [-hhost] [-wwidth] [-lnum] [-iindent]  [accounting file]

Description
       The  filter  is used to filter text data destined for the LJ250 Companion Color printer.  The filter handles the device dependencies of the
       printers and performs accounting functions.  Accounting records are written to the file specified by the af field in at the time of comple-
       tion for each job.

       The filter can handle plain ASCII files, nroff files, and sixel files. If the printer is in HP HCL mode, the filter should be invoked using
       the lpr -x option.  The filter translates nroff control sequences for underlining, superscripting, and subscripting into the correct  LJ250
       control sequences.

       The  filter  can  be  the specified filter in both the of and the if fields in the file.  For further information, see When both fields are
       specified the of filter is used only to print the banner page.  It is then stopped to allow the if filter access to  the  printer.  The	if
       filter maintains accounting information.

       If the of field is the only one specified, the filter is used to print the banner page.	It is then stopped and restarted.  This allows the
       of filter to be used to maintain accounting information.

       If the if field is the only one specified, the banner page is sent directly to the printer. If the printer has been left in an undetermined
       state the banner page may not print correctly.

       The  best  results  are obtained when the filter is specified in both the of and if fields.  For a more detailed discussion on filters, see
       the ``Line Printer Spooler Manual'' in the ULTRIX Supplementary Documents, Volume 2: Programmer.

Options
       The filter ignores the arguments passed to it by the line printer daemon, lpd(8).  The of filter is called with the following arguments:

       lj250of -wwidth -llength
	      The width and length values come from the pw and pl fields in the database.

       The if (or restarted of) filter is passed the following arguments:

       lj250of -c -nlogin -hhost -wwidth -lnum -iindent  accounting file

Diagnostics
       The lf field (default /dev/null) in the database specifies error logging file name.

Files
       Printer capabilities database
