No reason to. There are already several programs that meet this need.

In increasing cost:

Anarkey -- provides command history, better command line editing, and
	aliasing. Shareware (I believe about $20-30).

4DOS -- A command.com replacement with the above plus a much more rich
	set of commands, on-line help, takes less memory...
	Shareware, $50.

MKS Toolkit -- Provides a UNIX-like environment, including Korn shell, which
	has aliases. Also has vi and awk. Commercial $250.
