	Does anyone know if the parameters on the "shell=" line in 
config.sys are passed to the primary command.com shell during system
boot through an EXEC interrupt generated by io.sys as command line
parameters?

	Let me clarify.
Essentially i'd like to know if you could run command.com with /p, /e:nnn
switches on the command line instead of in config.sys.  Or does the primary
shell interpret them as command line switches.

Thank you...
