How about the files mark.com and release.com?  That marks and releases the
memory for exit to command.com.  When you exit, then it releases the memory
being held previously.  If you would like, I can drag out my batch file for
the shell command to DOS from my BBS program and give you a generic example of
how it is done.  If you need more info, just e-mail me at:
