        Programs that "shell to DOS" often use COMSPEC to find the command
interpreter.  They'll load whatever file is at that full pathname.
        4DOS seems to work perfectly well with COMMAND.COM loaded as a
secondary shell.  Of course, you won't get any of the 4DOS enhancements while
running COMMAND.COM, but if you can do without them, go right ahead.
        Just make sure that you set COMSPEC to the full pathname+filename.
        Of course, those programs that explicitly load COMMAND.COM don't load
4DOS, even if you want them to, unless you hack them (search for the string
COMMAND.COM and replace it with 4DOS.COM, being very careful to match format
with the original.
