Actually the line in CONFIG.SYS should look something like:

   SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS /P /E:20

where the options are respectively:

1) Where to load the initial copy of COMMAND.COM

2) Where to get subsequent copies

3) Make these changes permanent

4) Environment size, in number of paragraphs.  The default is 10 but
   anything between 10 and 62 will work.  values outside that are ignored.

Also, there's apparently (I got this info off compuserve) another switch
/D which causes AUTOEXEC.BAT not to be executed, if you care.
