pwd and cd work because they are internal to the shell. ls, more, sed,
gawk, etc., aren't internal--you gotta have an executable file for
it.

There are scads of unix-like programs around, for example picnix.

I have a unix-like more for msdos systems, now up to verison 2.4.1,
which Bill should soon (?) be releasing on c.b.i.p., so if you are
interested keep your eyes open.
