Hi Zoki,

You might try looking into aliases and shell functions. In basic DOS, one
is limited to using batch files for this purpose. UNIX system shells
usually provide a shorthand or inline way of describing those frequently
used convenience shortcuts. Most shells on Linux support some form. If
you are using BASH check out the man page regarding aliases. For example:
alias ls='ls -CF'
This one provides useful information from just typing plain 'ls' regarding
file/directory type indication.
Another:
alias more='less -qe'
is my preference to allow better paging control (than 'more) when viewing
files.
I have even seen some people have an alias for common misspellings:
alias mroe=more
Hope this helps.
