By the way, on a Centos 5 box (compare to RHEL 5), I got the following: 

[test at localhost ~]$ which dir
/usr/bin/dir
[test at localhost ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/dir
coreutils-5.97-23.el5_4.2
[test at localhost ~]$ man dir
[test at localhost ~]$ 

For UNIXish commands in DOS, try: 

   http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

It's better than DOS commands, but there is still much 
UNIX goodness missing, like the way that pipes are handled. 
I've not tried the zsh for DOS.
