$ cd /usr/bin
$ ed type
a
vis "$@"	# or "cat -v "$@", if you have it
.
w
q
$ chmod +x type

Next question.  Or, if you have the C shell,

% alias type vis	# or "alias type cat -v"

or, if you have the S5R2 Bourne shell, the equivalent syntax for creating
a function.  Put it in /etc/profile, if you like.
