I continually do that as well that is why I don't bother to remember which
system I am on... I just have a 'cat.bat' file that is on the path which
does:
	type %1
as well as an 'ls.bat' file which does:
	cls
	dir /w %1
try batch files on the mac!  Gee How inflexable can't rename the command

better still write all of these commands in C... they are given as examples
in the K+R gospel.
