Excuse me if this is the wrong place to ask, but I have Googled for
the answer and found nothing.
I'm trying to determine if there is a configuration file like .bashrc for
Busybox. I found reference to /etc/busybox.conf but it does not exist on my
Familiar Linux install and I find no documentation on it other than that
regarding su.
Can I create it and put aliases etc. in it like in bash?
This would be really handy to save "typing", especially on the tiny
on-screen keyboard on PDA's. I'm using Busybox on an iPaq.
Thanks.

busybox.conf is not useful for that. But ash supports aliases IIRC,
and also executes /etc/profile and .profile on startup.
