Create a text file ~/.bash_aliases and put

alias vdm='wine "Program Files/The VDM++ Toolbox Lite v8.3.1/bin"'

in it. You'll need to restart your shell for it to take effect.

The .bash_aliases file is safer and easier to edit than editing the .bashrc file directly. It's automatically loaded by .bashrc on 11.04 and later.
