You might try UNCLE (unix-like command line editor) on SIMTEL-20 
(MSDOS.KEYBOARD, I think). It includes aliases (static only), and many
csh-type history functions besides command line editing.

I wrote it years ago, and use it constantly. I haven't used 4DOS, which
sounds to be much better; but if you want a small TSR to avoid schizophrenia
when going between DOS and UNIX, you might like UNCLE instead. It's even free.
