OK, how about this? Even taking into account the differences in command
names (mv instead of rename, cp for copy, etc) how do you make something
like this work?
@echo off
echo Test DOS batch file
if "%1" == "" goto help
goto end
:help
echo You must enter a command line parameter.
:end
echo You entered %1.
Granted, the above example doesn't actually do anything useful, but trying
to do something simlar in bash won't work. Again, I realize you use $1
instead of %1, but you can't use "if" and "goto" in the same way. I don't
think there even is a goto command.

I'm not sure why you're bringing aliases into the discussion. You don't'
need to use aliases if you're just writing a simple script analogous to a
batch file. If you want to batch commands in a shell script then you can do
that just as you do in DOS. The only real difference I can think of is that
your script file has to be executable and has to start with the scripting
language you want to use. If that's what's making the outline of scripts
more complicated then I can't argue with that. If what you're familiar with
makes something simpler and makes more sense then again, I can't disagree
with that.
