Why do you want to run it from inside config.sys instead of autoexec.bat?

Anyway, I know you can invoke 1 program simply by doing

shell=progname

in Dos versions 3.X on up. I bet doing:

Shell=prog1
Shell=prog2
Shell=command.com ...

will work (as long as prog1 and prog2 terminate normally, but I can't swear
to it.) If it does work, Its a lot simpler than some other things mentioned.
