No.  which is supposed to tell you which specific instance of the command
is being executed.  It is not appropriate to replace it with whereis(1).

If you insist on using a bourne-ish shell and type `which' instead of the
more appropriate `type' then you can add to your .profile:

=09alias=09which=3Dtype

If your shell does not have aliases then get a better shell.
