SHELL
Allows another command processor (shell) to be used
See also <COMMAND> <CONFIG.SYS>
The SHELL command specifies the program to be loaded when the system
is booted. It allows another program to be used in of COMMAND.COM.
COMMAND TYPE: System Configuration VERSION: 2.0 and up
USE: SHELL = [d:][path]filename [parameters ...]
d: path filename specifies the file that will be loaded in place of
COMMAND.COM. Any parameters specified will be passed to this file
when it is executed.
MSDOS sets the COMSPEC environment variable to the filename specified
in SHELL. This is used to reload the command processor whenever it is
neccessary.
NOTE: This command must be placed in the <CONFIG.SYS> file and is not a
normal DOS command.
