Take a look at Quarterdeck's "QEMM 386" memory management utilities.
With a user-base in the 10s of thousands, documentation and technical
help is readily available. They're good, they work very well, they're
easy (only takes a day or two to figure them out :-) and they're under
$100 US. I recommend this as an easier solution to your problems,
although I obviously guarantee absolutely nothing.
bP> that I transplant COMMAND.COM to a ramdisk, as it gets called

I don't think it's so important unless you're running a floppy-only
system. That's just an opinion. I think the BIOS SHADOWING
(relocation) is very much worth it, although not necessarily with
the utility you are trying to implement it -- sounds like a dog
to me. (No offense meant to my canine friends).
Goodluck. I have no connection with Quarterdeck or QEMM beyond that
of a satisfied customer.
