Can anyone tell me a workaround to get the transient portion of 
COMMAND.COM to reload from something beside the A: drive?
I have tried COMMAND C:\ /P, but this just gets A: spinning and I have
to reboot.

Other info:
Yes, I know I could upgrade to 3.X.
I have a PCjr with 640K, two floppies, Impulse sidecar, and SPC 20M disk.

Please respond by mail and I will post if there is interest.
Sorry if this is a really ancient question.
