How about looking on pages 1-3 of the "Getting Started" doc that came with
PC-DOS 5.0.  It lists new and enhanced functions and hardware support for 
versions 3.3, 4.0, and 5.0.

FYI, in case your MD-DOS documentation omitted this detail:

5.0 New functions--
autoconf, doskey, edit, fc, help, meutonini, mirror, qbasic, setver, 
undelete, and unformat.

Enhanced functions--
attrib, comp, dir, diskcopy, dosshell, find, format, graphics, restore,
and mouse.

New device drivers--
emm386, himem, smartdrv
