Instead of writing out a complete Debug.ListMemory command with all switches, you can invoke the command using predefined aliases with certain switches preset to specified values. For example, instead of entering:
>Debug.ListMemory /Format:float /Count:30 /Unicode
you can write:
>df /Count:30 /Unicode
