     A company called Beagle Brothers Microsoftware, Inc. sells
many utilities which allow one to modify DOS and Applesoft commands.

Beagle Basic is probably the closest thing to what you're looking for.
This program allows you to modify the names of Applesoft commands,
token words, and it also gives you lotsa extra commands (like if then else
and swap a,b where a and b are variables).  And of course, there's the
"oldee but goodee" DOS BOSS which allows you to do the same to DOS 3.3
commands.

Hope this helps
