I think you have to change the COMSPEC or SHELL in CONFIG.SYS to be
\OS2\CMD.EXE /K OS2INIT.CMD

In fact, you could use any name you want instead of OS2INIT.CMD.  But
conventionally, this is the name given to such a file, for reasons dating back
to OS/2 1.1, where I believe the /K parameter was the default.
