alias-like function?

[Søren Hauberg]

Hi all,
I'm using octave 2.1.50 on linux.
I'm looking for something like the shell command "alias" for octave. I 
would like to have color output when typing ls. I can achive this by 
typing "ls --color" but I don't want to do this all the time. I could 
define a function
function ls_tmp(), ls --color, end;
but then I wouldn't be able to type "ls" I would have to type "ls_tmp" 
(or what ever the function would be called).
So is there an alias-like command for octave?

Soren
