I am new with PC. Recently my wife and I put together a 386/33
compatible with 8MB RAM and 170MB HD. We have load MicroSoft DOS 5.0.
When we used mem /c to check the drives in memory, we found three
copies of COMMAND files with different sizes in the conventional memory. 
We tried loading the DOS with and without the option of STARTING
DOSSHELL.

Without the option of STARTING DOSSHELL, there would be only one copy
of COMMAND of 2.6KB in the conventional memory. With the option of
STARTING DOSSHELL, there would be two copies of COMMAND files
following the DOSSHELL file. One is of size 3.0KB and the next is of
size 2.7KB.

Could someone out there give me some hints in terms of why there were
three copies of the COMMAND files and why the DOSSHELL would bring in
two copies of COMMAND file even though there were placed next to each
other?

Thank you and Marry Chrismas!
