PC Magazine had a nice routine to help with loading TSR's in the dos box
.. actually their purpose was to change prompts.
 
Make a pif file that executes Command.com.  On the line that asks for
command line arguments write:
 
E:512 /c <path>file.bat

The E:512 just increases the enviornment size... I don't think you need it
unless you change the prompt... I do.  The /c <path>file.bat tells command.com
to execute the stated batch file when it loads.  (you can call the batch file
anything you want).

The batch file contains:

echo off
SideKick.exe
cossession.exe
       ......or other TSR's
%comspec%

That should run your dos box with all the TSR's you want.  I have not tried
it to run TSR's though... I just use it to change my promt to something that
reminds me I'm in Windows.  Hope this helps!
