Or grab AMISL083.ZIP and run the sample TSR called SWITCHAR which provides
the switch character services that were removed from DOS 5.0.

MS-DOS has been backing off on switchar ever since DOS 2.0, where you could
set it with a CONFIG.SYS command.  That was removed in DOS 3.0; DOS 4.0
removed the switchar checking from COMMAND.COM and DOS external programs.
Finally, DOS 5.0 dummied out the switchar facility in the kernel.
