The -e switch must specify the same amount of environment space as the
/e: line on your SHELL= in CONFIG.SYS.  Do they agree on how big the
environment is?

Also I have found that TDH386 fails when DOS is loaded HIGH (via
DOS=HIGH), so don't do that.

I used TD386 when trying to debug UART communication routines.  Only
TD386 allowed me to single-step through ISR routines (wow!!).
