I use 1.2.16 and don't seem to have the same problems as you. For the
first question, what was the entire message line? Was it:
scp: dl/news.sou: No such file or directory
If so, it is not a problem with the local directory.
If you want to download multiple files, the usage is
usage: scp [-p] f1 f2; or: scp [-pr] f1 ... fn directory
and OS/2 cmd.exe doesn't expand wildcards so you can do something like
this: scp host:dir/* .
For the alias question, most unix's provide a method to bypass aliases.
I tried '\' (backslash) and it worked for me. To do your delete try:
ssh host \rm files
I noticed the use of the cdd command. What OS/2 shell are you using?
It may play a role.
