I know that it has existed since DOS 2.0 and I am fairly certain that
DOS 1.x did not have it, but I don't have a DOS 1.x manual handy to
check it out.  `SHELL=' definitely works on a Toshiba T1000 because that
is what I have.  This is what I have in my CONFIG.SYS file and it works
(note that I use / for path delimiters since DOS 2.11 allows it in
config.sys and setting the switch character using the `switchar='
statement to some character other than / or \ in config.sys causes other
DOS commands to allow / too):

	switchar=-
	device=c:/dos/ansi.sys
	shell=a:/bin/sh.exe -L
