The doskey command can be used in a DOS environment to simulate the kinds of things which alias does. Here is an example from my alias.bat file:
doskey cdhome=cd c:\Users\michael doskey tw=cd C:\Users\michael\workspace\ferris-tweial\ferris-tweial\ferris-tweial-app\target\unziped\ferris-tweial-app-1.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT doskey twr=c:\Applications\java\jdk1.7.0_11\bin\java.exe -jar ferris-tweial-app-1.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
As you can see, doskey is very similar to alias. When on a DOS prompt, all you need to do is type tw or twr and that command will be executed. Of course make your own doskey values.
All of my doskey commands are in an alias.bat file. This means anytime you open a new DOS prompt you need to execute alias.bat to load all the doskey command. Unacceptable! Instead, create a shortcut for either your desktop or toolbar and you edit the shortcut to execute the alias.bat file for you. The shortcut will look something like this.
cmd.exe /K "c:\Users\Michael\alias.bat"
That's it.
Enjoy!
