Here's a few that I love to use:

KILL=global /q del *.bak
FIXD=global /q attrib -h descript.ion
SETAL*IAS=alias /r c:\4dos30\aliases
EDAL*IAS=vi c:\4dos30\aliases
ATZ=echo atz>com1
.=exit
BACK=set tempcwd=%_cwd:chdir %oldcwd:set oldcwd=%tempcwd:set tmpcwd
CD=set oldcwd=%_cwd:*chdir %1
CALC=echo Answer=%@eval[%&]
LESS=list /s

------
KILL and FIXD are great right before running Norton SD
EDAL/SETAL are invaluable when perfecting aliases
ATZ is handy for those frequent comm problems
. is great for those used to Unix
the CD/BACK combo is great all the time
CALC was inspired by a VM Rexx program
LESS is the best approximation to the Unix one I can't live without
