it is possible that this is a program called DOSEDIT.  (at least, I know
it by that name) If it is, then you need an alias.lst( or alias.def, depending
on the version) file (I think in the
directory from which you invoke it during your autoexec.bat) with the follow
format:
       <alias> <command to be aliased> <cr>
where there are as many (?) as you want.

hope it helps
